Catfish are being caught throughout the lake. Willow Cove, Boat Dock Cove, and the near west buoy-line are just some of the hot spots. Lake Wohlford cats prefer cut mackerel or chicken liver. Stop by the ranger station to pick up a dough-bait recipe that works well for both catfish and carp.
Largemouth Bass can be found lingering around structure. Cliff Dievers of Pauma Valley caught and released a 7.20# bass on a drop shot in Oakvale Cove. The bass are hitting shad raps, frogs, and dark colored plastics.
It has been a lean year for Crappie at the lake The pan-fish are primarily being caught in small numbers by fisherman in boats. Crappie prefer the cover of shade and they are most often caught on finger-jigs or live golden shiners.
