The trout bite is gaining steam as we head into the third consecutive weekly plant. The late bite has proved better than the early bite for most of the week. The trout are hitting jigs, powerbait, and inflated night-crawlers. Denny Vath of Escondido had big fish of the week honors with his 7.90# rainbow caught on green powerbait near Crappie Rock. The southern shore has been much improved as of late.

The bass remain elusive. Largemouth Bass can usually be found around structure. They respond well to crawdads, swimbaits, and dark colored plastics.

The crappie are hiding out, for the most part, but a handful were caught in the past week near the new Crappie Float. Crappie are most often caught on finger jigs or live golden shiners.

Catfish can be caught throughout the lake. Lake Wohlford cats prefer cut mackerel, or chicken liver.
