To protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels, there is still a 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 Tuesday and Thursdays and to active military on the first and third Saturdays of each month.

Wednesday's double plant was a big success and drew large crowds immediately. Many limits came out of Boat Dock Cove, and by Friday the bite in Oakvale Cove turned on as well. The biggest trout of the week belonged to long time regular Lee Vietor of Valley Center and weighed in at 11.35#s. The huge rainbow was caught on spring green powerbait west of Senior Shoreline. A close second went to John Hansen who caught an 11.15# trout on a gold colored Thomas Buoyant near the West Buoy Line. Other notable catches: Ari Lopez's 8.40#, Adrien Brien's 7.90#, Randy Chuon's 6.20#, and Ed Walach's 5.15#. With another plant scheduled for Wednesday don't expect the bite to slow down much any time soon. Green powerbait and inflated nightcrawlers have been the most productive baits.

Bass can be found near structure and respond best to crawdads, swimbaits, and dark colored plastics.
