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 and third Saturdays of each month. The lake is closed for weekday fishing. We will remain open on weekends only until Saturday December 12th and the first trout plant.

The upcoming trout season promises to be one of the best yet. There are six consecutive weekly plants to start the season, 10,000+ lbs. in December alone. The sheer volume of plants coupled with the lakes modest dimensions should provide for an environment that is heavily laden with trout throughout the coming winter.

There were quite a few plus size catfish weighed in this last weekend, but none could rival Peter Vitkus’s 39.10# Blue Catfish. The monstrous cat was hauled out of Willow Cove and caught using cut mackerel. The catch was the fourth largest on record at Wohlford and the second catfish exceeding thirty pounds to be weighed in so far this fall.

The bass bite has been solid with mostly small to medium sized bass being reported.
