Conditions
: TOLEDO BEND: GOOD. Water slightly stained; 75 degrees; 0.19 feet above pool. More rain in the forecast so water levels are high and rising. Main lake is clear, but some of the big creeks with the flow are muddy and will take some time to clear up. There is a shad spawn going on in the morning and some afternoons attracting the bass. Bass are good on spinnerbaits, chatterbaits and small swimbaits. Once the rises work Texas rigs and wacky worms along edge of the flooded brush. On an overcast day, bass can be caught on topwaters and frogs all day long. Lots of fish, just not many over 4 pounds. Crappie are fair on brush piles and deeper docks using 1/16 ounce jigs with a white or smoke color grub and live bait. Best area has been away from the big flow in the creeks, as crappie do not like the rushing water. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing. Reported by: |

About: -
The most popular game fish at Toledo Bend Reservoir is
the largemouth bass; an excellent year-round fishery exists. Good year-round
crappie and catfish fisheries are also present. Striped bass are maintained by
annual stockings because conditions at Toledo Bend usually do not allow a
successful natural spawn.
