I have been fishing wipers at Willard for about 6 years and only use a fly rod. There are days when you can outcatch guys trolling and throwing whatever 10:1. My best advice to you is any white streamer 1 1/2" to 2" long with sinking line. you can absolutely destroy wipers from a boat with a trolling motor casting into the bank and stripping back to you. From shore can be good. On Sunday, and yesterday I went out and caught 5-7 each day from shore. The clearer the water the better, and remember to strip fairly fast. Don't sit in one place for too long. Move around trying to find them. Once you do. There are more there, is generally what I have found. These are fish are every where, they move around alot. You can destroy them in one place one day. and not touch one the next in the same place. Right now is the time to fish for them. They are close to the banks which makes them easier to find. Have fun. There is no other freshwater lake fish I would rather catch!
