    Father in law caught some nice ones 2 weekends ago. My phone won't let me upload pics though. 11 all 11-13 inches. Weather was nice but would say this cold front pushed them back for sure.

    I was there last Tuesday. Water was 48-50, normal murky for Twain. Fished South Fork on Vince at Hobbie Hut's recommendation. Landed two nice ones (14" and 12"), let two good ones (12" each) get off, and caught plenty of 5-7" fish. Spread out in the creek openings. Didn't have much time to explore but definitely caught some. I seem to have a hard time catching many quality fish on this lake any more. Definitely plenty of hungry fish, just lots of smalls. We were rigging minnows. Headed up to fish again this Friday.

    I hear that I enjoy fishing the lake and the action but I find it very hard to catch many with any size.

    Thinking about heading to twain tomorrow morning. Anyone have any recent luck? Cold front coming in going to not make it worth the drive?

    Thanks

    Probably depends on how long of a drive you're talking about-can't tell from your location. Sunday is looking good, albeit a touch chilly.

    Only about a two hour drive for me so not super far. Might still give it a shot.

    Might want to check the forecast. Last one I saw calls for rain afternoon on Saturday and Sunday morning.

    Okay. We fish middle fork on Friday. Rigged minnows and jigs in the channel, channel ledge, and flats. 5 fish total between two guys, all 7" or less. Water was still normal murky for Twain, 48-50 degrees, as high as 53 in one shallow spot. SLOW action this time.
