The trout fishing is slow with the water murky from the recent rains. Using scented bait improves your chances when the water is clouded.

The Largemouth Bass are getting ready to spawn. Chayne Rosario of Escondido caught and released a 9.40# bass Saturday, during the rains, that was clearly swollen with eggs. They respond well to swimbaits, crawdads, and dark colored plastics.

Crappie are beginning to move in close to shore particularly in the early morning hours. Crappie are most often caught on mini-jigs or live golden shiners.

Catfish continue to be caught throughout the lake. Lake Wohlford cats prefer mackerel, shrimp, or chicken liver.
