Great report Petty, the best one I've heard in a while on willard. It looks like the the water is still fairly murky though. When you finely got back to the north dike and started catching them, what time was it and what time did you leave? WH2

First I would like to thank petty for taking my on my first of many wiper outings. What a great day on the water, almost no wind, sunshine (sunburn), great company and I caught wipers to boot. I think we had lunch about 11:30 and caught most of the fish after that.

The guys I talked were also chasing wipers. Thats what they caught 5 of, and they were all about the same size that we caught.

It was nice to meet you and mememe I think if you had stayed a little longer you may have got into them. I was looking at the pics again and could tell it was after lunch by the mustard stain on my shirt.

TD,Good to hear you made it up here safely and your getting set up with your new life here in Utah. Are you planning on going into full time retirement so you can fish all the time or are you planning on working? We will have to make some plans to do some fishing, sounds like you are getting your list full already, hope you can squeeze in one more. WH2

I don't know about the float tube idea but we might be able to work out a trip to Bear lake this fall, if my old boat holds up. A whole week without any fishing, you must be going through withdrawals.

sounds like another move sometime in the near future? well we made it up there anyway but it looks like you were on the other side of the lake. hopefully i can run up there again with ya the next time you make it out there.

, but with the amount of boats and PWC that race around showing off for each other it surprises me it dont happen far more often there.
