In order to protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels, there is still a temporary ban on private water craft and equipment that could have been exposed to mussels. Restricted equipment includes private boats, canoes, kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that contacts the water.

The lake will be closed during the weekdays and open weekends only through the fall. We will re-open for weekday fishing on December 14th. Lake Wohlford is offering $20 all day motorboats to active military on the first and third Saturdays of each month.

A new lake record for Catfish was set on Sunday when Robert Wade of Poway landed a 40.15# Catfish while fishing for Bass with a jig off the South Shore Rock Pile. The monster cat took nearly a half an hour to reel in and Mr.Wade speculated that he most likely would have broken his line had his boat been anchored at the time. The most popular baits for Catfish are chicken liver or cut mackerel. There is a doughbait recipe that works well for Catfish and Carp available upon request at the ranger station.

Small to medium sized Bass are biting mostly in the early mornings and late afternoons. The Bass are most often caught near rocky outcroppings and are hitting shad raps, crawdads, and dark colored plastics.

Crappie prefer the cover of shade or submerged willows in which to hide. The best baits are Crappie jigs and live golden shiners.
