In order to protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels, there is still a temporary 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 motorboats to seniors on Tuesdays and to active military on the first and third Saturdays of each month.

A fair amount of small to medium sized Bass are being caught still lingering in the shallows and feasting on the abundant shad. Brian Kay caught and released a 5.65# Bass at the South Shore Rock Pile on Wednesday. The early mornings and evenings are the best times. Dark colored plastics or shad raps are what is working right now.

There are plenty of Catfish to be had throughout the lake. The Catfish respond well to chicken liver or cut mackerel. Stop by the ranger station for a dough bait recipe that works great on both Catfish and Carp.

The Crappie fishing has been good. The Crappie prefer the cover of submerged trees and rocks in which to hide. Live golden shiners and finger jigs are what they mostly bite on.
