What are your thoughts on what Willard will do next? It seems like it should be on fire with the water temps and the water level. But it sure hasn't been. I'd really like to plug a few nice wipers before it's full on summer. Willard is usually an early season fishery for me because it turns on before the higher lakes do. But, it's been pretty slow early season based on previous years. I'm torn on whether or not to give it another shot this weekend or give up and head up to the higher lakes.
According to Shawn (Obi), the reason they redid the entrance to the North marina is because the traffic gets so bad in the Summer that it blocks the off and on ramps to the freeway, because to backs up so far.
I know they are working on a new camping area just South of Pelican beach and another one in that area where they are looping the road around to get in the park. As TD said, the best catching will be here soon. With all the unstable weather we had been getting, it has caused the water temps to stay low but now that it's changing, so will the catching. We will be out there again on Fri, we are hoping the catching will improve by then but who knows. Will report back on how we do.
