I have been to this lake many times as I lived in Valley Center for years, and this place is beautiful but has an eerie feel to it. Because this lake is more secluded and there aren't too many visitors, honestly this place feels like somewhere you could visit and disappear at (I know, creepy right?). I've come across really mean, sketchy people around here that don't like visitors so honestly I do not recommend this place. The stars are beautiful at night because of less lights, but again, feels dangerous people-wise as well as animals like coyotes and mountain lions.

On April 21, 2018 I fished Lake Wohlford for the first time. We arrived early (5:15 am) in order to reserve a boat, bass boats go quick so don't be late! The gates opened at 6:00 am and we were on the water within 20 minutes. For an early April morning, I definitely recommend wearing layers, it's quite chilly. By mid-late morning, the sun is warm enough for you to shed your sweatshirt/jacket. The day before we fished, they stocked trout (not sure if they stocked bass too). We caught 6 very good sized trout, had about 10 good bites in total. My brother-in-law took a bass boat and landed 16 lunkers. The lake itself is not massive. It's very easy to cover the whole lake over the course of the day. We fished until about 4:30 pm and got some sun. Pack sunscreen, snacks and water. The staff/rangers were very friendly. We will definitely be back.

First time here and caught 3 rainbow trout. Tried typical trout rigs with baits and nothing bit, spinning lures are the way to go. Looking forward to going back. $9.00 permit at the automated kiosk at the ranger station. Unlike Dixon Lake, doesn't seem they charge here for a second rod permit. First place I've ever been to where they checked permits later, don't be dumb, avoid a ticket! Good luck fishing!
