Brown Trout
While Twin Lakes, Minnesota, is primarily known for its warm-water fisheries, dedicated anglers can find limited opportunities for Brown Trout in specific areas. Some of the deeper, clearer lakes within the chain have been stocked with trout in the past, although stocking levels can vary year to year. The best time to target these trout is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler. Focus your efforts around areas with deeper water and some current, such as near inlets or outlets. Trolling small spoons or crankbaits can be effective, as can casting with spinners or small jigs. A local tip is to check with local bait shops or the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for the most up-to-date stocking information. Be aware that the trout population may be limited, so practicing catch and release is encouraged to help sustain the fishery. The clear water in some sections of the lakes can make for challenging but rewarding sight fishing opportunities.
