Permits and boat rentals are sold at the Ranger Station. We are credit/debit only, no cash transactions. We do not sell fishing licenses so anglers must obtain them elsewhere prior to their visit. The all-day motor boats are $25 for seniors on Tuesdays and Thursdays and for active military every Saturday.

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.

Beginning January 1st we will be stocking trout each and every week until trout season ends in mid-April. The trout fishing has been spotty with occasional limits being taken by boaters on the east end or fishing the first pier in Boat Dock Cove. Big trout of the week belonged to Alby Nazario of San Marcos and weighed 4.70#s it was caught on a mousetail at the east end. Spoons have been a prominent theme amongst those anglers catching fish, and jigs or powerbait, green in color, have also experienced a modicum of success.

Largemouth bass can be found lurking around structure. Brady Garrett caught & released an 8.00# bass Tuesday in Oakvale Cove using a swimbait.

Catfish continue to bite throughout especially the larger blues. Mackerel, shrimp, and chicken liver are all viable options.

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. For information on the contest or fishing conditions, please contact the Ranger Station at (760) 839-4346.
