Talked with DNR guys who were also there taking pictures and sizing up the situation, so DNR is aware. Bet they change their planting plans to deal with the chub explosion. Expect to see some really nice fish being caught for next few years. Hopefully chubs don't overrun the lake.
I hate to be a doom and gloom guy, but it looks like its already too late. I'm not sure wipers at that elevation will do well enough to take any reasonable number out. The rainbows already seem to be suffering with the recent one's I've been catching looking emaciated. The same fish two months looked fat and healthy. I really, really hope I'm proven wrong as this is by far my favors lake to fish due to proximity and overall beauty.
