[quote HD7000]I did a little digging on this and have come to the conclusion that wipers were put into E.Canyon to try and control the stunted small mouth population. The DWR only put 10,178 wipers in EC which sounds like a lot, but compared to the 371,968 wipers they planted in Willard last year, they hardly put any in EC!
I'm sure we will hear of people catching them from time to time, but If you are targeting wipers, you would be much better off heading down the canyon![/quote]
The # of fish stocked isn't the most important # to look at. A better number for what you are suggesting is fish density. How many fish were stocked per surface area? Or per volume of water?
Willard bay is a pretty large lake surface area wise, and those 370,000 wipers have a lot of room to spread out and move around. EC is considerably smaller isn't it?
