Greg, haven't worked the east wall much yet. The season is young and I've been kinda grid searching the south wall. Maybe next trip I'll make it over all the way into Freeway Bay.
Mooseman75: UL isn't as deep as WB so when the wind picks up and starts to white cap the water, if I'm still on UL, I'm heading as fast as I can for protected water. On WB depending on which way the wind is blowing from I can sometimes get sheltered up close to a wall. But when wind on WB comes up suddenly and is gusting at 15 mph or more, I make a fast retreat for the closest marina. I've been close to capsized at WB twice, and have seen and heard about too many boats even bigger than mine get swamped at Willard and Bear Lake, so I respect the wind. I can dress for cold, and I can protect from hot sun, but high winds are a definite no-go for me. When I'm looking at a trip to WB, if the weather forecast is calling for light and variable winds (0-5 mph) It's a go. From 5-8 mph, it's go but keep a close eye on the wind and waves. Any forecast over the 10 mph mark I usually pass on a trip to WB, and head to the BRBR for some bank tangling. Winds at the river are good, helps keep the biting flies and skeeters down.
