That's quite a naive statement. I've personly caught dozens of wipers on flies, and not just when they're in a feeding frenzy (boils). I've not yet caught a walleye on the fly, but I know I will. It's just a matter of time...
To answer the original poster's question, I've had a lot of success with both flies you mentioned and sometimes just a plain white woolly bugger. A sinking line helps get your fly down to deeper water when the fish are holding near the bottom, but I've had a lot of luck with floating lines as well. The lead eyes on a clouser really help sink the fly and also impart a nice swimming motion as you strip it back in. Good Luck!
