Toby Lake - 160 Acres of Heaven

Location:
This expansive 160-acre lake is located just 1 hour SW of Oklahoma City, nestled on a massive Oklahoma ranch. The lake offers an exceptional fishing experience on one of the largest and most serene bodies of water in the area.

Lake Features:

  • Size and Depth:
    • The lake covers 160 acres, with most areas being around 6-7 feet deep. However, there are deeper channels throughout the lake, ranging from 9-10 feet deep.
    • In front of the dam, there's about 50 acres of open water that drops to a depth of 15-20 feet, providing an excellent habitat for fish.
  • Fishery:
    • The lake is known for its large, healthy bass population, which was confirmed during an electrofish survey.
    • Additionally, the lake is full of crappie.
    • In the summer months, expect many of the fish to be suspended around the thermocline at 6-12 feet of depth near the dam.

Boating Access:

  • Boat Ramps:
    • There are 2 boat ramps capable of launching full-size bass boats.
  • Road Access:
    • Currently, there is no all-weather road for the last 1.25 miles to the lake. However, much of the road is accessible, even in slightly wet conditions.
    • The last 2/10 of a mile is a path through the field, which is perfectly fine to navigate in dry weather. There are plans to add a rock road in the next year to improve access.
  • Boat Recommendations:
    • While there is a 12-14 foot jon boat available for member use, the lake is quite large, and it is recommended to bring your own boat. A larger boat will allow you to better navigate this expansive body of water.
    • Be sure to bring an extra battery, as it’s important to be prepared on a lake of this size to avoid getting stranded.

Fishing Regulations:

  • Bass and Bluegill: There is no harvest required for bass or bluegill, so you can catch and release these fish.
  • Crappie and Catfish: You are allowed to keep all crappie and catfish that you catch.

Additional Information:

  • Members coming from DFW and points south will likely pass through Elmore City, a quaint town made famous by the 1984 cult classic movie "Footloose"—inspired by this very community. You might even catch a glimpse of Kevin Bacon on your way!

Experience:
This 160-acre lake offers a rare and peaceful opportunity to fish on a large, scenic water body. The expansive size, combined with diverse fish species and stunning surroundings, makes this an ideal destination for serious anglers. Whether you choose to bank fish or bring your own boat, the lake promises a rewarding and tranquil fishing experience.
