To protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels, there is a ban on private water craft 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.
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 do not sell fishing licenses, bait, or tackle so anglers must acquire these essentials elsewhere prior to their visit. We apologize for any inconvenience during this transitional period.
The trout bite has been slow to turn on despite Wednesday’s double plant. The rains seem to have put a damper on the bite, but some limits are being taken although they are few and far between. Boaters seem to be outperforming shore fisherman, at present. Dave Pierson of Garden Grove had big fish of the week with a 10.75# rainbow caught using a smoking jigz in Boat Dock Cove. Top baits are powerbait (rainbow or green), or inflated night-crawlers dipped in garlic sauce.
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.
