To protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels, there is still a 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 fishing for catfish has been picking up, and with a large plant of whisker fish scheduled for the first week of in July, the catfish season shows a lot of promise. The catfish derby is only two weeks away. The derby is scheduled to take place Saturday July 5th from 6 a.m. until midnight. Prizes for the largest catfish caught, in various categories, will be awarded. The lake will also play host to a charity breakfast, and lunch, benefiting United States Navy Sea Cadet Corps. The fifth of July is a free fishing day in the state of California, so permits only, no licenses are required for this event. Lake Wohlford cats prefer chicken liver or cut mackerel. Stop by the ranger station for a dough-bait recipe that works well for both catfish and carp.


Largemouth bass can be found near structure, and respond best to crawdads, shad raps, or dark colored plastics.


Lake Wohlford is offering $20 all day motorboats to seniors on Tuesdays and Thursdays and to active military on the first and third Saturdays of each month. Half day bass boats are available weekdays for 35$ each.


Each month Whopper Contest winners in four categories are awarded a free fishing and boating permit. For information on the contest or fishing conditions, please contact the Ranger Station at (760) 839-4346.
