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 seniors on Tuesdays and Thursdays and to active military every Saturday.
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.
The trout fishing was slow this week due to the rains, but the bite should turn as soon as the water clears thanks to Wednesdays plant. The bite could turn on as early as this weekend depending on the weather. There was a tie this week for big fish honors both David Sisombath of Escondido and Taylor Oshinski of Valley Center weighed in a 9.10# trout. Other notable catches included Jesse Tran’s 7.30#, Alicia Temblique’s 6.70#, Mike Villanueva 6.60#, and Frank Naredo’s 6.40# trout. Bait with a little scent on it, dipped in garlic for example, might improve your chances of catching fish until the water clears.
Crappie are being caught by boaters trolling for them. Crappie respond best to golden shiners or mini jigs.
Catfish can be found throughout the lake and favor cut-mackerel or chicken liver.
Each month Whopper Contest winners in four categories are awarded a free fishing and boating permit.
