Restricted equipment includes; private boats, canoes, kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that contacts the water.
Trout season is just a week away! Beginning Saturday Dec.11th, we will return to our usual seven days a week schedule. Four thousand pounds of rainbow trout are being stocked for the opener. Come and take part in a tradition of trout fishing that dates back seventy years beginning in 1952 when Lake Wohlford was the first lake in San Diego County to stock trout. We have learned a thing or two in all that time, and that is why we have nearly 10,000 pounds of rainbows cued up to be planted in just the first thirty days of the season. Make your plans now for what promises to be another dynamite year!
Fall is a good time for catching large catfish. Lake Wohlford cats are most frequently caught using chicken liver, shrimp, or cut mackerel.
Mostly small to medium sized bass being caught. Largemouth Bass can be found lingering around structure. The bass respond well to dark colored plastics, crawdads, and crank-baits.
Crappie are being caught in small numbers. 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. Contest winners must legally catch their fish at Lake Wohlford and have their fish weighed in by a Wohlford Ranger on our scale. For information on the contest or fishing conditions, please contact the Ranger Station at (760) 839-4346.
