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 Thursdays and to active military on the first and third Saturdays of each month.

Note that following the transition to daylight savings time(March 8th) the park will remain open longer closing at 7:00 p.m. It was a slow week for trout fishing, but should improve with Wednesday's plant. The largest trout of the past week belonged to Charles Vanpelt of Escondido and weighed 9.30#s. It was caught on a nightcrawler in Boat Dock Cove.

Crappie are being caught in small numbers at various locations throughout the lake. Crappie prefer the cover of shade and are most often caught on mini-jigs or live golden shiners.

The bass bite remains good. The bass are in pre-spawn mode with the smaller males preparing their nests. The bass favor crawdads or dark colored plastics.

Each month Whopper Contest winners in four categories are awarded a free fishing and boating permit. For information on the contest or fishing conditions, please contact the Ranger Station at (760) 839-4346.
