    Moving To Alexandria for Central Illinois

    I am moving to Alexandria in the fall and I wondered what lakes are close. I know that Toledo Bend is close but are there other not so well known lakes in the Alexandria area? Thanks

    Toledo Bend - depedning where you go but south end is about 1.5 hrs. from Alex.
    Cotile Lake and Kincade Lake - west of Alex. about 15 mins. (very clear and LOTS of stumps)
    Indian Creek - South of Alex. about 10 mins. (very clear and LOTS of stumps)
    Red River - Pool 2 (5 mins depending where you live) also have Pools 1 (south of Alex.), 3, 4, & 5 (north of Alex.)....furthest is Pool 5 in Shreveport, from Alex its a 2 hr. drive.
    Saline/Larto Complex - east of Alex about 20 mins.

    There are plenty other lakes areas to fish to the north, east and south of Alex. All lakes listed lakes and others are well known, nothing a secret around here....

    As for the times i put up, it all depends on where you live and what landings you use.

    Is this a temporary or permanent move??

    There are plenty of good lakes. One he left out is cane river lake. It's just north of alexandria, about an hour to the shell beach landing.

    If you need a house I could sell you mine, it's about 20 minutes south of Alexandria in bayhills

    Welcome to Louisiana,you will most likely like the winters and most likely not like our long Hot summers with Dewpoints in the 70's most days.
