[quote PBH]There isn't a lot of evidence to show that they won't. But that's because there aren't wipers anywhere at that elevation.[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]Scofield Reservoir has an elevation of 7618 ft. The elevations of 12 Utah reservoirs (not counting community ponds) I found where wipers have been stocked range from Willard Bay at 4200 ft all the way up to New Canyon Reservoir at 8871 ft. Yes, wipers were stocked in New Canyon in 2011 – about 3500 of them. I can find no data that shows the success of those plantings. And while a little lower than Scofield in elevation, both Jordanelle (6166 ft) and Otter Creek (6372 ft) have had successful plantings. So perhaps wipers in Scofield might just be feasible. As you said, time will tell.[/size][/#800000][/font]
