Toledo Bend Guide Suggestions

I figured this has come-up before but nothing came-up when I ran a search.

I'm planning a trip at the end of the month and I'm looking for a guide who will help me learn the lake.

Any suggestions on a good, reliable guide?

Thanks

Darold Gleason, time and time again he gets good reviews on here, he also fished with Bill Wilcox on a honey hole episode for the bend this year. Maybe go check that one out on youtube, seems like very knowledgeable guide who is a good teacher. He would be my first choice

Darold Gleason. Great guy Great Guide

Also David Truax, Harold Allen, Tommy Martin.

I would absolutely LOVE to fish with Harold Allen. It would be a bucket list item for me.

I'll guarantee you wouldn't be bored!

.

All of the above are good choices. Add Stephen Johnston to the list

Zack Gagnard 318-308-7574. Young guy just starting out. He is on em right now. We fished together 2 weeks ago and I would guess we caught real close to 100 fish.

Same can be said for Stephen, he fishes alot of tournaments too away from Toledo.

ABSOLUTELY YES,,, you certainly want to ask ANY guide you are booking as to whether they have a tournament coming up "away" from Toledo Bend, or "on" Toledo Bend.......or any lake for that matter.
I think it makes a difference in how they approach their outing.

Darold Gleason is the man. Used him twice and have another day scheduled for 4/25. I like Darold because I'm very interested in using my graphs and fishing off shore structure, that's less pressured, and for me holds bigger fish.

I dont need a guide to beat the bank.

Darold is a really good guy and a great guide. You will have a hard time getting him booked this time of year but absolutely call him to check on any cancelations he may have. Good Luck either way

Thanks everyone -- I have plenty to work with.

David Truax is a great guide also.

Harold Allen, Tell him John Lee said to call

One of the best Guides/ people/ fisherman, on the lake, and long time friend and partner of Harold Allen, is Glen Freeman. He's lived in Converse, on the Louisiana side, a long time. Ranger Pro, wins a lot of Tournaments, too.
