Love fishing for wipers actually. I plan on going to Union Reservoir on Labor Day. It is a No-Wake reservoir, but is only a couple hundred acres. Last year at this time, we got into the wipers pretty good trolling for the suspended one. A good wiper lure if they suspend is a Bill Dance Swimmin' Image pulled on leadcore line. In the spring we tend to get up in 6' of water and either pull spinners/bouncers right under the boat or any jig/bait combo. Jigs with curly tails also do good when water is being let in reservoirs in the spring. The warm water coming in really gets them going.
I'm no expert when it comes to wipers as the biggest one I've ever caught is only 5 lbs. I have cuaght hundreds of them, but none really huge yet!
Jay Stafford is the Colorado Division of Wildlife biologist for the Northeastern part of Colorado. He is also a wiper nut. He might be able to help you with a presentation if you know the water temp, bait fish situation and the lake structure. Try finding his information on the Colorado Wildlife website.
