It seem the DWR has turned there back on Willard.
They dont seem to patrol Willard much. I fished there at least 3 time per week last year between June and late August for the Wiper and Catfish. Not seeing the officers was the norm and the "Happy Harvesters" were taking full advantage of it. After seeing Coolers full of young Wipers being filled I called the report line but never saw one Officer.
Gumbyk is one of the few people there following the regulations. Good on him, maybe it will rub off on the others.
I am thinking the days of seeing large Wipers may be coming to an end since they will be harvested before they grow up...
