I’ll be shore fishing with the fly rod whilst I soak a night crawler on the bottom. I’ve tied up a few large Wooly Buggers for the occasion.I would try any white-colored streamer. Buggers, clousers, bunny leech. I have only scored wiper from the bank on the north dike. It was years ago when wipers would boil more often. I miss those days. The best boil I ever saw was the first week of July. It must have been the size of a football field. EVERY cast fish on. The most insane fishing I have ever experienced. I would switch between spin casting and fly rod fishing. Access to the north dike is tricky now. You could park inside the north marina, by the new pond, and walk in. It is a bit of hike. Good luck with your wiper quest.
I haven’t tried for wiper with the fly but I got a new 7 wt and I think it will be awesome if I get one on. What color combinations have you found success with as far as lures, jigs, and the fly?
