Great report and pics, thanks for sharing this with us.
Forest- wipers, walleye and shad have been escaping from willard for a long time, following the freshwater along the shore of the Great Salt Lake and making their way up to the Bear river for many many years. It only happens in high water years, like we had last year and the Spring of this year but I believe the shad started showing up in the Bear river about 10 or 15 years ago. It is not surprising that a wiper finally made the long haul up there but it sure is nice to see that not all of the ones that escape Willard go to waste.
