Lower Twin Lake is remote, yet accessible. Fabulous fishing for trophy walleye, as well as perch, whitefish and pike. There are also brook trout in the lake. Gary Skrzek, from Walleye Heaven (walleyeheaven.com), says that Lower Twin Lake (and its counterpart, Upper Twin Lake), is known for the size of the fish rather than the numbers. “Fish of all sizes get caught but there are an unusual amount of large Walleyes over 10 pounds and Northern Pike over 20 pounds. The reason for the large sizes is the availability of massive amounts of Whitefish to feed on,” Skrzek reports. If you’re able to get to the lake for the appearance of the brook trout, you’re in luck. Skrzek notes that it’s a fleeting occurance. “In early spring large Brook Trout come up the drowning river through Relief Lake and Tooth Lake,” he says. On rare occasions, they can be found at the west end of Lower Twin Lake where the Drowning River runs out. When they are there, “they are only there for a week or two after ice out and go back down stream below Relief Lake waiting for the May Flies to hatch.” The Drowning River, which itself offers excellent fishing, flows through Upper Twin Lake, into Lower Twin Lake, and exits at the southwest end of Lower Twin Lake. The underwater structure of Lower Twin Lake makes for excellent fish habitat. There are sandy areas, rocky structure and a variety of weeds including Wild Rice and Spider Legs, among others. Lake Access From Nipigon, take the Trans Canada Hwy east for about 193 km. Turn north onto Blueberry Road for about 45.3 km. Turn left onto Twin Lakes Rd. and drive about 4 km in. The road goes between Upper and Lower Twin Lakes. There are lodges and outfitters in the area, all of whom will be able to set you up for a spectacular northern fishing experience. Lower Twin Lakes Lodge (lowertwinlakes.com) and Twin Lakes Outfitters (twin-lakes-air.com) are two such places.
