The lake will remain open for weekday fishing until after Labor Day when we will close on weekdays but remain open on weekends through fall re-opening full time in mid-December.

The Catfish bite is best at the West Buoy Line. Lake Wohlford cats prefer chicken liver or cut mackerel. Stop by the ranger station for a dough-bait recipe that works well on both catfish and carp.

Largemouth Bass can be found lurking around structure and respond well to crawdads, frogs, and other dark colored plastic
