I fished Lamont, Johnson, and Glendale last weekend. Johnson was the only place anything was moving as far as warm water fish go. They have stocked all of them with trout and they are very easy to catch. The water temp on all lakes there was between 54 and 60 degrees all five days I was there. Unless we get some temps in the upper 70's for 3-4 days in a row, fishing will be slow. The temps during the day in the 60's barely moved the water temps up to 60 for a few hours, and then the 30 and 40 degree temps at night bring the temps back down around 55. Blue Gill and LMB need a steady 60 degrees to get moving and around 68-72 degrees to even think about spawning. The bigger the lake, the longer it will take to warm, which is why Johnson was the warmest, Glendale was the coolest. Glendale and Twin are about the same size, so I would assume the temps are the same. With the outlook all week being cool, rainy, and windy, I would think about trying some place else. If the forecast holds true, next week we should have some middle 70's, maybe see that thing they call the sun, and things may look a little better.
