Figure 1. Growing season length versus altitude for 42 locations
in Wyoming. Graph indicates that at altitudes greater than 1900m
(6200 ft.) growing season would be less than 100 days.

Figure 2. Mean July air temperature versus altitude for 33 locations
in Wyoming. The nine points at the lower right (> 1900m) correspond
with predicted overwinter survival of young~of~year smal1mouth bass
of 0.0-0.5. All other points correspond with predicted survival of
0.9-1.0 (Shuter et al. 1980).
