Re"Seeing all the chubs with several large tigers tells me that the tigers are getting huge eating chubs, the cutts aren't as successful as the tigers at eating chubs or are just deeper away from the nets, and the bows aren't going to make a comeback."
It is a totally unscientific observation on my part, but all of the cutts I have caught since the chubs and the slot arrived have been rail thin and sickly. It suggests to me that the Bear Lake cutts aren't working like they do at the Berry. (Possibly water depth? Strawberry deep reservoir/Scofield relatively shallow) I'm with Fishrmn. I am inclined to vote for using the rotenone and starting over, then put in a slot so the chubs, if they return, don't get the upper hand. Scofield has been treated 2-3 times before with some success, so it isn't too big to treat.
