We fished Twin Lakes (primarily the East) on Saturday, April 14th.  As you probably noticed, a big front came in Friday night.  Temps in the low 50’s with a 19-22 mph wind out of the north, gusting to 32.  Nevertheless we did our best while pin-wheeling around the lake and/or stopping for bank fishing.  Water temp was 64* and visibility over 3’.  Lake is full, healthy, and beautiful.  Wonderful habitat at this lake.  Landed 17 up to 4-2.  Mostly on green pumpkin lizards and a few on paddle tail swimbaits.  They did not want to chase any baits – none on spinnerbaits or cranks; then again the new weed growth with the suspended “snot grass” did make any treble hooks baits too troublesome.  Overall, although incredibly blustery, enjoyed spending the day outside and fishing.
