Bluegill fishing on Toledo bend Resevoir




Spent Tuesday afternoon, May 20, fishing for bluegill, commonly called bream in the South, on Toledo Bend Reservoir located, for those who do not know, on the Sabine River, bordered by both Texas and Louisana. I fished out of Indian Mound Recreational Area, a Sabine National Forest facility. In three hours of fishing, caught 21. Most were in the 8-11 inch range, good eating size.

I fished from an Wenonah Sandpiper solo canoe, 13.5 ft. long. Though Toledo Bend is a large lake, with the attendant wind and wave problems associated with big water, there are lots of creeks and inlets made for fishing from and paddling canoesa and kayaks. Go if you can, you won't regret it.
