approx. 25 miles northeast of Jasper Texas and is located in

it is also the Pro's choice for numerous fishing
tournaments. Fishermen come from far and wide to fish Toledo
Bend Lake. In addition to great Bass fishing, there is an
abundance of Crappie which makes Toledo Bend Lake the
perfect fishing trip for the whole family.
Predominant Fish Species:
Largemouth bass
Crappie
Catfish White
& hybrid striped bass.
Largemouth Bass
are more active during the fall, winter
and spring months due to the cooler
weather. Fish are active much longer
during daylight hours and are normally
found in shallow water early morning and
late afternoon For active fish, spinner
baits and crank baits are most
fisherman's choice. A variety of
watermelon green plastic worms seems to
work well during the hotter months
fished in grass. Early morning top water
baits are just about anything that
floats. Normally Poppers, Prop Baits,
Flukes, or just about any Stick Bait.
Crappie
fishing (50 per person per
day limit) is great just about year
around on minnows or jigs. During the
spawn, target shallow water grass areas.
At other times , Crappie are normally
found in deeper water in creek beds and
brush piles.
By mindful of the boat
lanes, if you are not familiar with
Toledo Bend Lake I recommend purchasing
a few maps. Toledo Bend is known for its
many tree stumps in shallow water, so
make safety a high priority.
In Conclusion:
Toledo
Bend Lake is one of the popular lakes in
Texas and should provide a great fishing
trip.
