Twin Lakes (Connecticut)

The Twin Lakes are located in Salisbury, Connecticut, roughly five miles away from both the Massachusetts and New York borders.

In the early 1900s, Camp Isola Bella was built on the island on Lake Washining (East Twin).

Holdover brown trout began thriving in the aftermath of the kokanee collapse, growing to substantial sizes in great quantities for over a decade.

However, shifting environmental conditions, including the introduction of the invasive zebra mussel in 1998, eventually resulted in the alewife population declining by 2008 along with the lake's ability to support large, holdover trout.

[2] Gamefish species present in both of the Twin Lakes include largemouth bass, chain pickerel, black crappie, yellow perch, brown bullhead and sunfish.
