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 remain closed during the weekdays, and open weekends only, until the first trout plant on Dec.14th. Lake Wohlford is offering $20 all day motorboats to active military on the first and third Saturdays of each month.

Huge Catfish continue their feeding frenzy as demonstrated by Wohlford regular Paul Eddo. Mr. Eddo landed a 29.65# catfish on Saturday using cut mackerel at the East Buoy Line, then just to show it wasn't a fluke returned Sunday to capture a 20.90# cat on the same bait off the South Shore Rock Pile. Lake Wohlford cats prefer cut mackerel or chicken liver. Drop by the ranger station for an excellent dough-bait recipe that works well for either catfish or carp.

Bass are biting 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.

2014 fishing licenses are now available for purchase at the café and would make an excellent gift for any avid fisherman this holiday season.
