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.

Contact Greg at Toledo Bend Guide Service for a memorable day of fishing with courteous, experienced, professional guides, fishing lessons for the novice or corporate outings.

Toledo Bend Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 2)

GOOD. Water stained; 85 degrees; 0.66 feet below pool. Rain continues to fall with more on the way, keeping the lake just a few inches below full pool. The bass bite is holding steady, with a solid shallow water bite early in the morning and again during midday. Topwater lures are producing at daylight, while midday action has been best in thick vegetation using popping frogs and flipping beaver-style baits in heavy pads and bushes. Deeper fish are being caught on Texas rigs and big crankbaits along main lake ridges in 12-24 feet of water. Crappie fishing has slowed with the heat and high water, with the best reports coming from anglers fishing at night under lighted docks or using floating flood lights–live bait is outperforming jigs. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing. Anticipate increased boater traffic this weekend as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day.
