In order to protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels there is a ban on private watercraft 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.

The first catfish plant is scheduled to take place next week. Lake Wohlford cats prefer cut mackerel, chicken liver, and shrimp. 

Crappie are being caught by boaters drifting and underneath the Crappie Float in the early morning hours. They bite best on live golden shiners or Crappie Jigs, white in particular.

The bass can be found lurking around structure. They can be enticed to chase swimbaits or dark colored plastics

Each month Whopper Contest winners in four categories are awarded a free fishing and boating permit. Contest winners must legally catch their fish at Lake Wohlford and have it weighed in by a Wohlford Ranger on our scale.
