Water level: Low level, private watercraft are currently banned.
Permits and boat rentals are sold at the Ranger Station. We are credit/debit only, no cash transactions. We do not sell fishing licenses so anglers must obtain them elsewhere prior to their visit. The all-day motor boats are $25 for 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.
Only two more weeks until the beginning of trout season and our return to a seven day a week schedule and senior discount days on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We are doing things a little differently this year and plan on stocking every week, save Christmas. Sixteen consecutive stocks starting January 1st with no skips, weather permitting.
Largemouth bass can be found lurking around structure. The bass are chasing crankbaits, crawdads, and frogs.
Catfish feed voraciously in fall to bulk up for winter. Top baits are shrimp, mackerel, and chicken liver.
Crappie are still being caught at the Crappie Float in the early mornings. They bite best on live golden shiners or mini-jigs.
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.
