Open to fishing all year Anglers reportfair trout fishing; however, brown bullhead which have been illegally introduced to South Twin for a second time following the 2011 rotenone treatment have increased in abundance. This is a reminder that is illegal to transport live fish in Oregon without a permit from ODFW. North and South Twin were last stocked in late June.
