Toledo Bend
FAIR. Water stained; 76-78 degrees; 4.03 feet low. The water level is 168.0 with one generator running from 2-8:00 P.M. Water temperature at the dam is 76-78 degrees with surface temperature around 78. The back feeder creeks are starting to clear up and the mid and main lake is clear. The full moon last weekend created tough conditions for the weekend tournament fisherman. Black bass are still in the fall transition and remain scattered, and hard to pattern. Bass have been caught on small 1/4 ounce chrome, black or blue rattletraps, bladed baits, smaller crankbaits in shad colors, jerk baits, and flukes. The worm bite has been producing on a Texas rig using an 8 inch tequila sunrise ribbon tail, and 6 inch salty sinker in blue smoke and watermelon candy rigged wacky style. Fly fishing has been tough in the shallows and flats. Crappie bite is improving in 20-25 feet of water using small minnows. Bluegills are still mixed in with crappie in the brush piles in deeper water. Catfish are in 20-25 feet of water off the breaks in the main river channel. Good luck and tight lines!
