Twin Lakes have been fishing well. We’ve been seeing activity throughout the day. Most of the hatches are in the late morning and afternoon. Callibaetis and terrestrials are the best surface flies. Dropping small callibaetis nymphs or midge patterns off of a terrestrial is a really great tactic, particularly near the banks. Chironomids and balanced leeches work best in deeper waters. Slowly retrieving callibaetis nymphs with an intermediate line can work well in shallow areas. Stripping streamers and leeches can be really productive in the late summer and early fall, the fish are looking for big meals before a long cold winter. There are only a handful of weeks left for accessing the Twin Lakes so head out there now before it gets too cold.
