I'm going to try it again on Friday hopefully I can find a few that will cooperate. I'm sure it's the same story for all the lakes in the Preston area.

So is the ice totally off those lakes? Was the water murky or stained? Too bad you did not find any willing fish, I would have thought at least the trout would have been interested.

So the other day the ice wasn't totally gone but you could cast to the ice and drag your bait off. Twin lakes was clear but Foster was stained a little. I'm going to Twin tomorrow again and give it a good college try so wish me luck.

Good luck, hope they are biting and you get some big ones. Looking forward to reading how you do.

I fished Twin Lakes 4/22 from 7:30 am-4:00 pm. It sucked! I had one bite all day. I actually hooked and fought him for just a minute before he shook the hook. I'm not sure what is going on the fish should be biting like crazy but they are not maybe we need to wait for it to warm up a bit.

Well that's a bummer, especially after spending that much time there. I'm having the same issue at one of my local lakes, I'm blaming it on the raising water levels and the water temps still being cooler than normal, for this time of the year but who knows for sure. Is the water level rising at Twin lakes?

I was told the canal had a blowout but I fished the south lake and could hear water coming in so they must have repaired it. The north lake was still crystal clear.  The South lake was a little murky but not to bad. I tried every bait under the sun the other day and the one bite I got was on corn yellow powerbait.

The first week it was beginning to melt. And the next week (Apr. 29th) it was ice free. I fished it from 7am to 10 and never had a bite. I threw castmasters on one pole and had corn and worm and a bobber on another. Very disappointed. Last year me and Obi both caught nice three pound, hard fighting rainbows.
