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 boats, canoes, kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, etc.

The New Year is here which means it's time to get your 2008 California Fishing License!!!

Trout action has been good with some nice limits of Rainbow Trout being taken. Trout conditions are currently ideal at Lake Wohlford. John Dehovitz of Escondido caught the largest Trout taken this past week. John's 11#4 Rainbow Trout struck a Green Power Worm in Boat Dock Cove. Matt Herrera of Vista caught an 11#0 Trout that hit Nitro Bait in Willow Cove. Jose Garlejo caught a 8#6 Trout on a Night Crawler at Senior Shoreline and Adrian Douthit of Escondido caught a 6#4 Trout on a Kastmaster in Boat Dock Cove. Top Trout baits are night crawlers, power bait (green & rainbow), power worms (white), and shiny spinners. Best Trout areas have been in Boat Dock Cove and in Willow Cove. Light line and small hooks are a must for Trout success. Four-pound test line or less and size #14 or less treble hooks are recommended.

Catfish action has been fair with a few nice-sized whisker fish coming in. The best baits have been cut mackerel, chicken liver, and shrimp.
