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 lake is offering half price motor boats to 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.

We will re-open for weekday use at the beginning of trout season in mid-December.

Catfish can be found throughout the lake but tend to congregate at either end. Lake Wohlford cats prefer chicken liver, shrimp, or cut mackerel. Stop by the ranger station for a dough-bait recipe that works well for both catfish and carp.

Crappie can be caught in the early mornings or late afternoons. They prefer some cover in which to hide or can be found suspended in deeper water. They are most often caught on crappie jigs or live golden shiners.

Small to medium sized bas are being reported. They are currently hitting swimbaits, crankbaits, and 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.
