Title: Twin Lakes
Post by: finnbear on Mar 06, 2018, 12:19 PM
A small group of us are heading out to Twin Lakes this Saturday, March 10th. We are taking a couple exchange students out for their first-time ice fishing. Does anyone have suggestions as to where we could fish to catch some panfish - or pike? We have lake access through a friends camp on the back side of lake Roland by the river that connects to lake Gerald - we could fish most anywhere as we have snowmobiles to get around on.
Any help or suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.

I am not aware of pike in Twin Lakes. At least I've never caught any.

According to the map book there are a few Northerns in there, but based on what I've been told by folks, there is not many at all.

Don't try to run a machine through the narrows between Roland and Little Gerald.  There is a current through there and weak ice; especially at the bridge.  Have had some fish around the brushy island at the South end of Roland.  Never saw a Pike.  Bass, perch, bluegills, crappies and some planted lake trout and rainbows.

thank you, I have heard that, but it's a good reminder, much appreciated.

Ha! Yeah I've taken exchange students ice fishing several times over the years and have had that happen, so now we know. Thanks for reminding me.
