My buddy Austin got into some wipers on a fly last Friday night and I had to pass along the info. He was fishing off of Blue Springs Lake dam and landed the beautiful 5 pound wiper/hybrid striped bass that you see below. In all, he caught 6 wipers and 1 white bass. Aside from the 5 pounder, the rest were in the 2-3 pound range. He landed them on clousers, sliders, and other baitfish imitations while casting into the southerly wind. April seems to be the month for catching these guys on a fly from the bank. The formula seems to be recent rain, wind from the south, and the month of April. I fished for a little while last night without any luck but I bet they'll be back after the next rainfall!
