                The 'New Lake' Bass Frenzy      Bassmaster Magazine, Back Deck, by Dave Precht Editor-in-Chief, April 2019

  Toledo Bend Reservoir turned 50 this year. The Sabine River impoundment, which straddles about 65 miles of the border                                   between Lousiana and Texas, was born and came of age at the same time as the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society. 

  By the time Toledo Bend was officially opened in 1969, anglers were aleady enjoying 100-bass days, and Scott was adding                                           hundreds of new members to B.A.S.S. each month.

  My research shows that B.A.S.S. held the first bass tournament on the lake in late January 1970. The Texas State Bass Tournament, which preceded B.A.S.S. by a decade or so, was conducted there later that year.

  Toledo Bend today regularly churns out trophy bass and heavyweight limits, earning back-to-back selections as the No. 1 lake in the country on Bassmaster's 100 Best Bass Lakes list previously.                                     ...

  Between 1990-1995 a total of 4,956,030 fish were added to the lake, which is a much smaller number than what is going in now. Between 2011-2015, a total of 7,666,549 fingerlings were added. The 2016-2017 figure alone stands at 3,806,891, which almost beats the five year period of the early 90s.                                                                                                           ...
