There are a lot of wipers taken on flies from Willard every year. Big white streamers and crystal buggers have worked well, but there are a lot of salt water flies that imitate salt water bait fish that will do a good job of representing the shad. Look up a good anchovy or smelt pattern, fling it out on either a sink tip or full sinking line and work in a few feet off the rocks. We are coming up to some of the best surface action of the year, when wipers herd schools of small shad right against the rocks and then mop up on them. If you are in the right place at the right time, you can wear your arm out.
