Rental boats offered include canoes and kayaks to pontoons and houseboats. While fishing from shore, a fishing license is required from that state in which you are standing. While fishing from a boat, a license from either state is valid. Local LA fishing guides offer guide trips on Toledo Bend Reservoir. Cover consists primarily of standing timber, boat docks and hydrilla plus a variety of other aquatic vegetation.
