Permit and Boat Rentals are sold at the Ranger Station. We do not sell fishing licenses, bait, or tackle, so anglers must acquire these essentials elsewhere prior to their visit. All day motor boats are discounted to $20 for seniors (60+) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and for active military every Saturday.
Due to the threat of Quagga mussels, there is a ban on private water craft and equipment. Restricted equipment includes; private boats, canoes, kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that contacts the water.
The trout fishing is still solid and should improve with Wednesday’s plant. The trout have been in deeper water. Mouse-tails and inflated night-crawlers have been the top baits.
Catfish are being caught throughout the lake. Antonio Ramirez of Vista caught a 13.40# catfish while fishing for trout off Senior Shoreline using powerbait. Lake Wohlford cats prefer cut mackerel or chicken liver.
Crappie have been suspended deep feeding on bait fish near the West Buoy Line. Crappie prefer the cover of shade and are most often caught using finger jigs or live golden shiners.
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.
