Toronto Reservoir Fishing Report - Updated: 11/03/2022

Species	Rating	Size	Baits, Method, Location
channel catfish	very good	0% 11"-16" 15% 16"-24" 77% 24"-28" 8% 28"-36"	Use a worm, stink bait, or shad sides on windy shoreline and channel breaks.
largemouth bass	poor	23% 8"-12" 23% 12"-15" 54% 15"-20" 0% 20"-25"	The main body of the reservoir doesn't have the necessary largemouth bass habitat to support a high-density bass population. However, the flooded timber and clearer water in the backwater section of Walnut Creek produces a fair density bass population. There were 12 bass per hour of electrofishing sampled in the reservoir. The ideal catch rate would be 100 bass per hour. Use a jig, spinner, worm, or crank bait around stumps and brush in river and Walnut Creek.
white bass	very good	0% 6"-9" 55% 9"-12" 27% 12"-15" 18% 15"-18" 0% 18"+	Use plastic jig, imitation shad, or spinner on windy shoreline and rocky points.
white crappie	very good	79% 5"-8" 12% 8"-10" 6% 10"-12" 3% 12"-15" 0% 15"+	Use a jig or minnow on windy shoreline, brush piles, and timber in Toronto Cove, Mann's Cove, and north side of Duck Island. Crappie are feeding on small gizzard shad blown up on shoreline. Cold front will push crappie offshore.
General Comments
Fresh cedar tree fish habitat brush piles were installed this winter and can be located by using the link below.
