The final catfish plant took place on Thursday. The best baits for catfish are cut mackerel or chicken liver and the East end of the lake is probably the best location. Stop by the ranger station for a dough-bait recipe that works well for both catfish and carp.

Mostly smaller bass have been biting in the early mornings and early evenings. Shad raps, crawdads, and dark colored plastics are all good baits. Bass can most often be found lingering around submerged rock piles.

Crappie have been hard to come by as of late. Jerrold Johnson of Ontario, Ca caught the largest of the month so far at 1.25#s. It was caught on a jig in boat dock Cove. Live golden shiners and crappie jigs work best with the crappie which prefer the cover of shade or the protection of submerged trees in which to hide.

Lake Wohlford will be closed weekdays beginning September 6th and stay that way until December with the opening of Trout season. The lake will remain open on weekends throughout.
