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.
The lake is currently closed on weekdays, but remains open on the weekends. We will re-open for weekday fishing in mid-December following the first trout stock.
Largemouth bass are being caught by boaters near the South Shore Rock Pile using swimbaits and jigs.
Crappie are still being caught in the early mornings and late afternoons when there is ample cover. They congregate under the crappie float or can be found by trolling or drifting. Crappie are most often caught using live golden shiners or mini-jigs.
Catfish are voracious here during the fall feeding on whatever they find trying to bulk up for winter. Tony Anastasia, presumably fishing for bass, off Senior Shoreline instead landed a 41.10# catfish. Lake Wohlford cats prefer cut mackerel, shrimp, or chicken liver.
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.
