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 seniors on Tuesday and Thursdays and 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.

Largemouth Bass can be found lurking around structure of patrolling the reed beds. The bass have been going after crawdads and dark colored plastics.

Crappie are actively being caught at the Crappie Float and by boaters trolling for them. Crappie respond well to mini-jigs or live golden shiners.

Channel Catfish are being stocked tomorrow so look for the bite to improve dramatically in Boat Dock Cove, near Bass Point, and along Senior Shoreline over the weekend. Lake Wohlford cats prefer cut mackerel, shrimp, or chicken liver.
