[cool][#0000ff]Wipers hit flies well, when you can find the fish and reach them with a cast. We have several members who wave a fairy wand at them. Almost any large white pattern works. The key is to let it sink and then strip it back in fairly fast.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Late summer, when wipers are chasing shad and boiling on the surface is the ideal time for flinging flies. With a "powered" pontoon you can search for boils and chase them down. It is pure luck if you get into a boil while in your tube, but you can often pick up a few just by working down the dikes and working the fly close to the rocks, for the fish that are foraging in close.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Wipers also come into both the north and south marinas, chasing shad. Last year there were quite a few evenings when boils developed right off the ramps. That usually happens just before dark.[/#0000ff]
