The chubs aren't a problem anymore in Joes Valley. At least, they haven't been for me.
Ever since the DWR introduced tiger muskie into Joes, the fishery has drastically improved. I wish they'd do the same to Scofield, it's getting bad there.
Definitely wroth a shot!
As for size - most of the splake are between 15-17 inches. They take forever to grow. The biggest splake I've personally seen was a 12 pounder outta there. I was doing a mount of a tiger trout at a taxedermist's shop (he's a buddy of mine) and he brought in the splake. Amazing looking fish. The big ones are in there.
Last year, I caught some really nice 3-4 pound tigers out of Joes at ice off, and some good sized cutts as well. The bigger ones are in there, you just gotta walk a lot of shoreline to find where they're holed up.
