Toledo-bend.com doesn't show the level either. Just that the gates are open 22 feet.

Still confident in a good shallow bite with all the new water?

Toledo Bend Reservoir, operated by the Sabine River Authority of Texas and the Sabine River Authority, State of Louisiana reached a record level high of 174.36 feet mean sea level (msl) at 6:00 a.m. this morning due to the rainfall event. The current gauge reading is 174.20 feet msl at 3:00 p.m. today. Toledo Bend Reservoir is not a flood control reservoir and reaches full pool at 172.0 feet msl. Spillway gate releases, which protect the integrity of the dam, have reached a record of 207,644 cubic feet per second (cfs) which is 90,000 cfs over the previous record set in 1989. Currently 9 gates are open 22 feet and 1 generator is running 24 hours/day. There is no truth to the rumors that the Toledo Bend dam could break due to the record releases. The integrity of the dam is intact and is operating as designed.
