FINDING TIME
TO DO WHAT
WE LOVE
IS TOUGH.
16 Fall 2016 Adventure Outdoors
Especially if we love to fish, because
anyone who is ever baited a hook before
knows, fishing takes up a lot of time.
A good fisherman is built on patience,
simplicity, and technique. When it
comes to bass fishing in the fall, we
like to think of it as a kick-off season
– parallel to football! – because, during
this time of year, bass are aggressively
feeding to fatten up for the winter
months. The fall is when bass fishing
really becomes a contact sport.
The first question could easily be:
Where do I go to find these
hungry bass?
Well, according to Bassmaster’s research
for the “Best Bass Lakes of 2016,” it is no
surprise that the Toledo Bend Reservoir
ranked number one in the nation. This
is the first time in the history of the poll
that the same lake has earned the number
one spot two years in a row.
If you have never had the pleasure of
fishing here, you will need to know that
Toledo Bend straddles the borders of
Louisiana and Texas on the Sabine River.
Therefore, it is the responsibility of both
the Texas and the Louisiana Wildlife
Departments.
