Toledo Bend Fishing Report Mid Lake and South End JANUARY 15, 2006 Low lake level seems to be the topic on everyone's mind. Even with our lake being low it's still one of the largest reservoirs in the United States. The fish didn't pack up and move, and there are boat ramps that have been worked on so we have access to the lake. As far as boat lanes, low water or not boaters should never take markers for granted. If you are not familiar with the area be cautious. So bring a map, camera and a spiral notebook and take full advantage of the low water because the rains will come and the lake will rise!
