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 Lake will close on weekdays following Labor Day (Sept. 6th), as it does each year, re-opening in mid-December with the beginning of trout season. We will remain open on the weekends, but the park will be closed to visitors, and fishing, during the week.

Catfish can be caught throughout the lake, but are particularly active at either end. Lake Wohlford cats are most frequently caught using chicken liver, or cut mackerel. 

Mostly small to medium sized bass being caught. .Florida strain Largemouth Bass can be found lurking around structure waiting to ambush their prey. The bass are hitting, dark colored plastics jerk baits, and frogs.

The crappie fishing has been slow. Crappie generally prefer the cover of shade and are caught most frequently on finger jigs or live golden shiners.

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.
