• Where to Fish on Toluca Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records collected within a few miles name common carp, bluegill, goldfish, green sunfish and rainbow trout. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish in this exact water on the day. Toluca Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 73°F in August and bottom out at 56°F in January. Summer is the season to work around, not winter. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Toluca Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.
