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. Big fish of the week belonged to Daniel Fernandez of Downey who used a smoking jigz to haul in a 14.50# rainbow at the West Buoy Line on opening day. Second place went to Bruce Smith of Clairemont who caught an 11.70# trout fly fishing with a white leech. Other notable catches include; Tim Xiang’s 11.35#, Joey Sitthivorada’s 11.35#, Caprece Pressley’s 9.30# and Wilber Roche’s 6.10# trout. So far the action is best on the northern shore between Boat Dock Cove and the West Buoy Line. Top baits are powerbait (rainbow or green), kastmasters, and rooster tails.
Catfish are biting throughout the lake. 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.
