Toledo Bend Reservoir: America's #1 Bass Fishing Lake

Spanning 186,000 acres of flooded pine forest, Toledo Bend was named the #1 Bass Fishing Lake in the Nation by Bassmaster Magazine for two consecutive years. Whether you are chasing double-digit trophy bass or looking for a relaxing sunset pontoon cruise, our local experts are ready to lead the way.

Conservation Program

The Lunker Bass Program

The Toledo Bend Lake Association rewards conservation. If you catch a largemouth bass weighing 10 pounds or more, bring it to an official weigh-in station like Toledo Town & Tackle or Buckeye Landing. If you agree to release the fish alive back into the reservoir, you will receive a free, custom fiberglass replica of your catch!
