Owned and operated by Greg Crafts, Toledo Bend Guide Service is ready to show you where and how how to catch fish. Greg has fished Toledo Bend since its inception in the early sixties. He lives on the lake and has been a full-time licensed guide since 1993 spending over 200 days a year fishing Toledo Bend.

Greg specializes in fishing for black bass year round. The limit is eight bass per person with a 14 inch minimum length. He will also fish for crappie, white bass, and bream and maintain numerous brush tops for crappie. The crappie season begins in the middle of October and runs through January. They have a creel limit of 25 crappie per person per day with two pounders not being unusual. The white bass run starts in late February and runs through April with plenty of schooling action in the summer. The creel is 25 per person per day. The bream spawn starts in April and runs through June.

Greg also owns Toledo Bend Cottage if you are interested in accommodations for your stay at Toledo Bend Lake.

Toledo Bend Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 24)

FAIR. 90 degrees; 4.00 feet below pool. Water temperatures are back up in the mid to high 80s, and fishing has been tough on the south end of the lake as it continues turning over, with brown bubbles showing up-something that should settle in the next 5-6 days. For now, it’s best to stay north of the bridge. Main lake ridges in 12-18 feet are producing a few bites on Texas rigs and big crankbaits, while creek bends in 3-8 feet are giving up some small fish and keepers on square bills and lipless baits, though not many over 2 pounds. Crappie remain slow on brush piles and natural timber in 16-22 feet, with most caught on live bait rather than jigs. The fall transition keeps getting delayed by the heat, but signs point to a real shift coming next week once the turnover passes. Despite the tough bite, a few big fish have been landed recently, including several in the 9-pound range. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing.
