Water Level: Unusually low; private water crafts are currently banned
In order to protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels, there is still a
temporary ban on private water craft and private equipment that could have been
exposed to mussels. Restricted equipment now includes private boats, canoes,
kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that
contact the water.
Trout fishing explodes this Saturday with Wohlford's first Rainbow plant of the
season! 4,500 pounds of large "Tail Walkers" from Chaulk Mound will be planted,
so Ranger's anticipate epic action! After this Saturday, Wohlford will stay open 7
days a week, except for Christmas Day when we will be closed.
Channel Catfish have been hitting cut mackerel, shrimp, chicken liver, and night
crawlers near the South Shore Rockpile and in Oakvale Cove.
Bass action has slowed a bit lately, but young Hayden Heck of Valley Center caught
and released a 1#4 Bass that struck a night crawler off Senior Shoreline. Five new
Bass-type rental boats are available for rent at Lake Wohlford. They sport footcontrolled
40# thrust trolling motors, 2 swivel seats, and a live well. They rent for
$46 for all day. With Wohlford waters unusually low, it is a great time for serious
Bass anglers to photograph Wohlford's structure!
