In order to protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels there is a ban on private watercraft 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 trout bite has improved, but is still spotty. Willow Cove on the sandbar has been the best location, the east end for those in boats. Inflated nightcrawlers and cheese scented powerbait have enjoyed some success.

 

Crappie have been biting in the early mornings underneath the crappie float. A half dozen different anglers have weighed in good sized crappie this week mostly caught using live golden shiners.

 

The bass have been active chasing swimbaits and dark colored plastics. Dousing your lures in bass attractant has been particularly effective.

 

Catfish continue to be caught throughout especially active are the larger blues. Mackerel, shrimp, and chicken liver are all viable options.

 

Each month Whopper Contest winners in four categories are awarded a free fishing and boating permit. Contest winners must legally catch their fish at Lake Wohlford and have it weighed in by a Wohlford

Ranger on our scale. For information on the contest or fishing conditions, please contact the Ranger Station at (760) 839-4346.
