So do people just not catch wiper or walleye anymore at Willard this year? Seems like quite possibly the worst year ever there...

First of all, welcome to the site. A little history about Willard in recent years. About four years ago the DWR started stocking less wipers and they started stocking walleye. They are still stocking wipers and they are still being caught but there numbers are so low and the food(shad) in such high numbers that wipers and walleye and not being caught much, at this time of the year. This year was a great year for walleye with more limits being caught than anytime in the past 7 or 8 years, wipers not so good but again their numbers are way down. The best time to catch wipers or walleye is in the Spring, up till July or the end of June when the shad get big enough that they are what are on the menu.
