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.

The Bass bite has been picking up of late with mostly small to medium sized Bass being reported around the various rock piles. Chris Lenker of Valley Center caught and released a 6.50# Bass Thursday using a plastic worm west of Senior Shoreline. The early mornings and evenings are the best times. Dark colored plastics work particularly well.

The first of four scheduled Catfish plants took place on Monday and the second is scheduled for this coming Friday. 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 have been biting mostly in the first couple of hours after we open. 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.
