Have you not seen the amount of chubs in the river above the lake??? They will 100% be back.
What a lot of folks don't realize is what eating machines wipers are. They are right up there with walleye. At one point Starvation had the same problem with chubs as Minersville once had but over time that chub problem was removed. IMO the wipers will do the same thing, the only reason that had not happened already is because the chubs retreated up the river but as you said, when that flow shows down, they will be back in the lake, or at least some of them will. Those smaller chubs that go back in the lake this Fall and Winter will be a good source of protein for the wipers this Winter
