They are still catching trout, but the in-flow of water from the canal has stopped so you might have to search elsewhere in the lake to find them. Trout are being caught on inflated nightcrawlers, salmon eggs, or powerbait.
Catfish can be found throughout the lake. Lake Wohlford cats prefer cut mackerel or chicken liver. Stop by the ranger station for a dough-bait recipe that works well for both catfish and carp.
Crappie prefer the cover of shade and bite best in the early mornings. Crappie respond best to mini-jigs or live golden shiners.
