Permits and boat rentals are sold at the Ranger Station. Currently we are credit/debit only. We do not sell fishing licenses so anglers must acquire them elsewhere prior to their visit. Facial coverings are required when purchasing a fishing permit or when entering or exiting the boats or boat dock area. The lake is offering $20 all day motor boats to active military every Saturday. We are open weekends only until December 14th.The lake will return to being open seven days a week at that time.


In order to protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels there is a ban on private watercraft 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.


Catfish can be found throughout the lake but are particularly active at the West Buoy Line. Lake Wohlford cats are partial to shrimp, cut mackerel, and chicken liver.


Largemouth Bass can be found lying in wait near rocky outcroppings or along the lines of bulrushes. Justin Kennedy of Valley Center caught and released a 10.00# bass Sunday using a crankbait off Senior Shoreline. Crank baits, crawdads, and dark colored plastics work well for the bass.


Crappie fishing is best in the early mornings or late afternoons when the shadows offer cover. Crappie prefer live golden shiners or mini-jigs.


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.
