To protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels, there is still a ban on private water craft 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.

Lake Wohlford is offering $20 all day motor boats to active military on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays in October. The lake is closed for weekday fishing. We will remain open on weekends only until mid-December and the first trout plant.

Fall is the time when the big catfish bite at Lake Wohlford. Paul Voytko who holds the record for the lake catfish knows this and demonstrated his record fish was no fluke when he brought in a 32.15# Blue Catfish on Saturday. This behemoth was caught using cut mackerel at the West Buoy Line and released back into the lake following his weigh in. Cut mackerel and chicken liver are the top baits for cats.

Small to medium sized bass are being reported. Largemouth bass can be found around structure. They are hitting on crawdads, crank bait, or dark colored plastics.

Crappie are being caught in small numbers in the early morning hours. Crappie prefer the cover of shade and are most often caught using live golden shiners or crappie jigs.
