Anyone worried about Toledo's future?

I grew up in Converse, LA and my grandfather owned Solans Camp so I'm pretty confident when I say I've been around Toledo my entire life.
The amount of pressure TB is getting right now is disturbing. I have never witnessed anything like like I have in the past 3 weeks, the pressure is getting out of hand.
I'm worried that Toledo is going down the same path as Falcon lake.

It comes and goes. Falcon will be back after a few years when the pressure subsides. Toledo bend has been through the same ups and downs. As fishing slows down so does the pressure and the fish will have time to grow again.

Nailed it.
However, if there is one exception, Guntersville would probably be it. Year after year, that lake gets pounded like no other. Somehow, she just keeps producing.

As long as we have high water during the spawn, the lake will be fine. Recruitment suffers when low water occurs during the spawn, concentrating the bedding fish and leaving the fry vulnerable. The past several years though, high water has lead to excellent recruitment due to spread out beds in cover and plenty of shallow cover for the fry.
The lake is producing at all time high levels and should stay above historical averages for the next 5 years at least.

Toledo doesn't have to worry about commercial fishing on half of the lake

No offense, but didn't they have some big tournaments the last month of so (TOBI, LOBI)? Not disputing pressure on the resource, but is it as bad on a regular basis as it appears to be during the spring?

Toledo getting that #1 spot broadcast around the country is more of a curse than a blessing.

Just to add. The drought that almost drained that lake had way more to do with the bad fishing than over pressure.

The lack of grass worries me. Every lake I've ever fished has been better when there is an abundance of grass. Fork was so much better when it had lots of grass, Caddo comes and goes with grass, Black Bayou Hosston fell off the charts, Caney....

I agree with you Palo, the loss of grass is what worries me more than anything.

Do they spray or treat to kill grass on Toledo?

They did I think two years ago for Salvinia. Some people were saying they saw boats out spraying this past year, too, but the SRA claims they didn't. All I know is that there is no where near as much grass as there was two years ago. Especially on the north end.

I went right before the flood with the intent to find grass, but never found a single blade.

I've been told that lack of grass this year was because of the very high water last spring. The sun couldn't penetrate as far so the grass doesn't grow as well.

You are correct same thing has been happening at Sam Rayburn due to the high water which lowers the amount of light from reaching the bottom.
ETA: Water levels have been unusually high during the spring the last two years which hurts the grass growth.

Caney was beyond good before the law mowers invaded

Ever notice there is more grass close to protected forests?
