Restricted equipment includes private boats, canoes, kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that contacts the water.
Lake Wohlford is offering $20 all day motor boats to seniors on Tuesday and Thursdays and to active military on the first and third Saturdays of each month.
Permits and Boat Rentals are now being issued at the Ranger Station. At present we are limited to cash transactions only. We apologize for any inconvenience during this transitional period.
Opening day of trout season was witness to a wide open bite with limits being reported from Boat Dock Cove all the way to the West Buoy Line. Many limits coming as early as mid-morning. Larry Alvarado of Riverside combined with Allen Rice of West Covina and Mario Ruiz of Ontario, Ca. for a triple limit weighing 16.00#s, 14.00#s and 13.35#s respectively. All three limits were caught at the West Buoy Line by 9:00 a.m. using mostly rainbow powerbait. For further details of the opening day catches check next week’s fish report.
Catfish are biting throughout the lake. Joey Mayerchik of Valley Center caught and released a 39.15# Blue Catfish 39.15#s using stink-bait at the South Shore Rock Pile. Lake Wohlford cats prefer cut mackerel or chicken liver.
Largemouth bass can be found around structure. The re-appearance of trout in the lake makes this an excellent time for swim-baits.
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.
