East west gave good advice. I'm going to respectively go a step further:
Fish at Willow...hmmm.....they move sir. Finding the brushpiles is a good idea and there are many. Ideally (IMO), I would start at the south ramp (straight north of the new park ranger kiosk on the south side). Walk out about 30 yards...stand looking straight north, and start drilling holes in the direction of 9-10 o clock. There is a semi-pronounced break line. Use the Vex and find some. Here is the important part (IMO): Fish the low side of the brush! These brush pile always seem to be on steep breaks. Fish the "shady side". Think of it in terms of logic. Fish will seek out not only side to side cover, but also top cover. The "down hilll" side of the brush will offer better and bigger fish in my experience. Also, when you drill your holes, take your transducer float and move it WAY up on the cord. Stick your arm down the hole and side scan for brush turning the tranducer face like a radar dish. I started doing that this last season to find it and (since cameras are very limited in that stained water) you can project your sonar...at least to the point when you hit those piles. Sounds wierd, I know. It works. I call it the stethoscope and use it all the time like that (temps permitting...it's cold dude).
At this time, I'm not sharing GPS coords due to the tournament coming up. I'm sorry. But not as sorry as I am that I fished every hot spot I had out there a couple weeks ago and had a few dinks to show for it. So far, Willow is elusive. Buddy of mine was out today...nothing! As far as wipers....find cats, and stick around. Fish buckshot rattle spoons above the cats and fish them violently...look for the mark...then ease off and quiver that bad boy. And hang on...they normally make a fantasitic first run. Even the 3 pounders will smoke 40' off a spool.
