[quote Fishrmn]In the early 90s I went there nearly every week on the ice. It was nothing to catch 60 Splake in a day. And they would average roughly 17 inches.

Don't give up on it. I've had many days like that in the past 5-7 years. Assuming the DWR can meet their splake stocking quota, it is still an amazing fishery. (I'm not arguing that perch are a scourge in FL, they are, and I'm someone that enjoys them elsewhere.)
Back to Scofield, from your conversations with the SE region, what ARE they going to do? Starve out a few more stocking truckfulls of tiger trout and cutts?
At this point, if they flat refuse to use rotenone, I would vote for the wipers. Give folks something worthwhile to catch there if they work and if they don't we are no worse off.
