North Louisiana home to seven of top ten lakes 

By: Glynn Harris

Several websites recently have posted something of interest to anglers, especially those who live north of Alexandria. In other words, north Louisiana. Fishmasters, an outdoor resource site, has done research and recently posted a listing of their choice for the top fishing lakes in Louisiana. 

North Louisiana can claim bragging rights because of the listing of the top ten lakes in the state, seven are right here in north Louisiana. 

The number one lake, Toledo Bend reservoir, comes as no surprise. This 186,000 acre behemoth rests on the Texas-Louisiana state line and is regularly ranked among the top bass fishing lakes in the nation.
