Willard Wipers - 28th of June.

[Therapist]

Stripers, one of the parent fish of Wipers, prey on crabs, lobsters, and shrimp in the ocean. If they can't find little fishies to eat, they go scrounging in the rocks for little deletable morsels to munch. At Powell, when the shad are scarce, they focus on crawdad almost exclusively, so it is not unreasonable that Wipers will do the same. Even though they can't spawn, they will move up streams in the spring like their other parent, White Bass. I don't fish Willard much, but if I were going to hit it for Wipers, I would troll the main lake with deep divers during the day, then move shallow during the low light periods, until the Shad start to show up. Remember, Gizzard Shad roam the open water most of the time, moving in to cover only to spawn. Wipers follow the shad !!!!!
