Actually Twin lakes has one huge advantage over Glendale. At Twin, they will inspect your boat right there. You dont have to worry about driving to Franklin or another State Inspection station to get validated to fish, ski, or any other water activity. Twin, well I was going to say Twin gets huge groups and a lot of impact during the summer, but, any more Glendale has huge crowds any more too.
Either place you need to hit the water early, and then generally off by 11 at the latest. At Glendale, as long as you have your inspection and leave it on the dash of your truck so they can see it, you can launch any time before they open generally around 7 am. Sometimes they open a little earlier. At Twin, they dont unlock the gates if your day fishing until 7 so by the time you get inspected and through the gate and launched, it is a good half hour or more to get on the water.
But, both are getting good panfish and some awesome bass populations so generally both are good. So, to say one place has it above the other, both have pro's and cons that we have to deal with. One thing I do know, is that back when both started charging the daily entrance fee of around 20 bucks out of county residents, the overall use has gone down and their money intake dropped drastically. Many of us told them that but they didnt care. Their bottom line is they are partial to County residents only and thats what they push for so thats a lot what you get. But, with these reservoirs being some of the only panfishing on the East side of the state, it attracts a lot of people for some tasty eating.
Good luck and living in Clifton, youll have your choice and being a Franklin resident, your costs wont be near what many of us have to pay for a day out on the water there.
