Can't find one. Anyone know if one exists? I use this one for wind predictions on lakes:
Wind, waves & weather forecast Toledo Bend Reservoir - Windfinder
But can't find one for water temps. Thanks.

You might look at some of the Marina websites, or guide websites, and see if they have a recent water temp reading. Or you might try calling the number listed for water generation schedules, and see if they have water temps (either in a recording, or ask the person answering the call) ... but, you'll have to realize "where" those temp readings were taken !! Toledo Bend is a BIG lake, and water temps could vary by 10deg or more, depending on location.

You're right Pappy, Toledo Bend is huge - 90+ miles long (with 1,200 miles of shoreline), so I realize that. I go there 6 - 7 times a year. The generating schedule has it's own website including current lake levels. Just looking for a general water temp. Thanks.
Best I could find was a guide's website that listed current water temps at 68-69deg. But I know nothing about the lake, so I don't know where he would have taken that temp reading. I did see on another website (marina) that water temps were 70deg back on Oct 31 ... so I don't think it's varying all that much. This coming cold front may change all that, though ... at least for a short period of time.
I don't pay much attention to water temps listings ... I just watch my DF to see what the temps are, where I'm located at that time.

Thanks for your help Pappy, I appreciate it.
Might check for live webcam sites on the lake. A few of them here have the water temps listed
I find the soil temp 4" under sod very close to lake water temp. Mesonet | 4-inch Soil Temp Under Vegetative Cover
Very interesting, haven't heard of that. Thanks.Quote:
