We're getting Walleyes everywhere now as it is. And none of the bucket plantings has been worth much, with the exception of Starvation. One of the biggest complaints from most Walleye enthusiasts is that Utah doesn't allow the use of live minnows. So when the UDWR succumbs to the idea of using Walleye to control Chubs, people will want to use live Chubs as bait.
Scofield is at too high an elevation for Wipers. They aren't going to do much in water that is less than 45° F. for nearly half of the year. It's the same reason that Smallmouth Bass don't successfully rear young at Strawberry Reservoir. For 5 or 6 months of the year they'll barely survive.
What works is Rotenone. What the problem is, has been, and will continue to be is that some people cannot believe that you can grow big fish without having little fish (bait fish) for them to eat, and they are willing to plant Chubs to accomplish that.
