K2,
The quote was "Walleye Factory" not Walleye Factor.
To me, this means that Walleye were the primary game fish in Willard and they were there in very good numbers, before the introduction of Shad and Wiper.
After the wiper were introduced, the DWR seems to have lost interest in Walleye.
It appears to me that Walleye are now on their own to survive at Willard.
There hasn't been a stocking of Walleye in Willard for years.
I hope that the DWR will be willing to help the Walleye out if ever needed though.
Last year, the DWR spent a couple of days doing gill netting at Willard. This was in May.
They were going to study the age of the Wiper that were netted to see just how old the fish were.
The netting produced several fish that were large enough to rival the state record. This was very promising for anglers.
I got this information from one of the DWR employees that was involved with the netting program last year.
