Finally made it to Willard Bay last week to see what all the buzz was about with these Wipers, and it was well worth the trip from Utah County. It was slow for the first hour, and then things really started to pick up and that's when I landed this awesome 7 lb 23 inch Wiper - not bad at all for my first Wiper!
I was trolling about 2.7 mph with an original black/silver Rapalla down the middle of the bay, in about 11 ft of water (FYI if you haven't fished Willard Bay it's really shallow, especially when you launch at the south marina. It was only a couple feet deep, max depth I found was about 13 feet.
If you're thinking about going, I highly recommend it. These Wipers are a blast to catch.
If interested, I have more photos here -
