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 remains sluggish. The trout have been chasing micetails and spoons. Cheese flavored powerbait has also been productive.

Crappie can be found underneath the Crappie Float in the early morning. They are most often caught using live golden shiners.

The bass are chasing swimbaits and dark colored plastics. The bass gravitate toward structure.

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.
