Located in Down town Kissimmee is the 18,810-acre
West Lake Tohopekaliga (Toho for short).The first lake
in the Kissimmee chain, Lake Toho is known for it's
ability to produce trophy bass and has been a popular
bass fishing destination for both recreational and
tournament anglers. Magazines such as Bassmaster,
In-Fisherman, and Bassin rate Lake Toho as the nations
best lake to catch a trophy bass.

  The other lakes in the Kissimmee chain include Lake
Cypress, Lake Hatchineha, and Kissimmee. Lake Toho
is the most famous of the lakes but all of the lakes in
the Kissimmee chain regularly produce trophy bass.
Last years Big Fish open was won out of lake Kissimmee
with an 11lb trophy.

  In a 2001 B.A.S.S. tournament Dean Rojas established
a new record for a 5 bass limit by bringing 45lbs 02 oz
to the scales. That's a 9lb average! Winning weights are
routinely in the 18 to 25-pound range. To date, the largest
bass documented from the lake weighed 17.10 pounds.
  
  The scheduled drawdown and shoreline restoration project
is now complete and water levels will begin to rise with
summer rains. Fishing has been excellent and is expected
to continue as big lake Toho bass begin to feed up for the
upcoming summer months.
