You know, speaking of leaving some for the rest of everybody else.... I spoke to a DOW officer on that one day that I went to Jackson. He measured our fish and he also took counts of everybody's total catch. He says they do an estimate on how many fish are caught throughout a season and then they'll get the population to catch up accordingly. Quite interesting, to know this if ya ask me. He says just this year or was it last year(?) they stocked half a million wipers into Jackson and they usually do that for each lake that has wipers and not only wipers, they do it with other warmwater fish. I dunno, I don't remember the conversation word for word, but I'm guessing they do that every to every couple of years. I remember the park ranger at Bonny told me and my pops about how they stock that place almost yearly. I'd imagine they do that at Union too because I've been fishing Union for half a decade now since I started to drive and seen tons and tons of fish pulled from the lake to where even I started feeling a little worried, but I still mark a crap load of em on sonar.

Shoo, for as much as that little park (Union) charges for vehicle AND boat, they better be stocking it as much as possible. I'm sure they do though. Cause every year right around June to near July there, we always run into the schools of little 9 to 10 inch wipers... And then you'll have the schools of wipers that run between exactly 12 to 14 inches.. The ones we're catching this year are probably the 12 to 14 inchers from last year. And as for the ones that were of size (16 to 20 inches) that haven't yet been caught last year(??) Well, let's hope someone gets to post a pic of one of those, this season.


HAPPY FISHING EVERYBODY!!!

-K- I got bored and just called the park right now. I'm surprised... They picked up on a Sunay. Anyway, I started asking all kinds of dumb questions. I asked for water temperature and she replied "50 degrees on the 29th". I then asked has she seen any fish pulled, she replied "I've heard stories about wipers on tube jigs."

I asked about stocking of wipers. She said they stocked seventy thousand last year in June!! And then she also threw in the part "we also just recently stocked it with rainbows on the 4th of April." Kinda cool eh? That's like, just the friendliest service you can ever get at an outdoor recreation park. She was really nice.

Call for yourself if ya want. Here's the phone# 303-772-1265

Hehe.... I'm trying to catch up with Epic on being full of useless info. I'm about a tenth of the way there, man.

HAPPY FISHING!!!

1eyered, i was wondering what is the best month for wipers at union ? , i never knew that there was muskie in union but this guy was telling me they have been stocking muskie in there for 10 years

Best time for wipers..... I don't think there is really a 'best' month. There may be a few. Generally speaking, I'd say May and probably one of the fall months like September or October would be good. Those fall months are best times for topwater action. One dude I know who knows a sh*tload about wipers would be Wiper_Stalker. This cat knows his stuff.

WIPER_STALKER :

Eh dawg, what's your input on this question?

Muskies eh? I never knew either. Never seen one come outta there so I probably wont believe it til I see it. Don't get me wrong though, I wouldn't be surprised if someone confirms that. If this is so, well.. The merrier the situation!
