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 third consecutive trout plant took place this week. Next week is a skip week and then we will stock again the first week of March. Mini-jigs, inflated nightcrawlers, and rainbow powerbait have been the top baits.
Catfish can be found throughout the lake but particularly near the west buoys. Lake Wohlford cats like chicken liver, shrimp, or cut mackerel.
Crappie are being caught in small numbers from shore. Crappie bite mini-jigs and live golden shiners. They prefer the cover of shade and typically only come in close early in the morning or late in the day.
The bass are beginning to stir with some medium size catches being reported, if not weighed in. Largemouth bass patrol the reed lines, or near structure, waiting to ambush their prey. They respond well to crawdads or dark colored plastics.
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 it 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.
