Fished Willard Wednesday. Launched from North Marina. Plenty of water to safely launch.

Water temp to start was 65° off pushing 70°. Water clarity is murky can see lure down maybe 4-6”.

Started off bottom bouncing for 2 hours not a thing…going .7-1mph. Switched to cranks bumped up speed to 2mph varying speeds and worked it eventually finding a nice Wiper (released) then pulling in lines at the end had a Shad (haha). Fished various depths from 12-15 FOW.

Saw no boils but did see a lot of Western Grebs feeding. Didn’t see any diving birds.

Overall was a beautiful day very slight breeze and bugs weren’t bad at all. Marked lots of fish and a whole lot of bait pods. Competing with all the natural forage is making it tough. Until there’s a huge Shad die off going to be tough fishing we believe. :fishing_pole::fishing_pole:

Nice Wiper, too bad the fishing was slow. It’s fun to get out and a nice day too. I rarely fish Willard because I really hate the drive from Sandy area. I usually fish east of Salt Lake. Thanks for the report and pictures.

Saw your post on FB but did not realize it was you. Way to go on the nice wiper, not many that size, being caught now.
