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.

Our first catfish plant took place Thursday afternoon and by Friday morning they were knocking them dead. The large crowd present for derby day are in for a treat. The west buoy line and Crappie Rock are both hot spots, but catfish can be caught throughout. Lake Wohlford cats respond well to cut mackerel or chicken liver

The crappie fishing is experiencing a resurgence with good sized fish being caught in Oakvale and the vicinity of Crappie Rock. Crappie prefer the cover of rocks or submerged willows and are most often caught using finger jigs or live golden shiners.

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.

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.
