YUBA!!! - Fritzfishin - 01-29-2021

gonna head down to yuba tomorrow morning lookin for a walter or a carp through the ice, heard of 7" but open water for a few feet so ill be bringing a 2x8 to get out there, if anyones goin or intrested shoot me a pm!

You be careful. The way the wind blew here the ice on Yuba May all be floating around Lake Powell. Every bit of snow we had was gone overnight. It was a true Chinook wind

RE: YUBA!!! - Fritzfishin - 01-29-2021

ill be extra careful, ive gone through yuba twice already, but im addicted to that lake, ill be bringing a open water set up as well, just in case. hows the crowds on the local water hole over yonder lookin, died off yet?

RE: YUBA!!! - doitall5000 - 01-29-2021

Do you think it could be open water.. you said you have been twice? Are you finding some bites??
Did you ice fish before.

RE: YUBA!!! - Fritzfishin - 01-29-2021

i haven't been there since it froze, i fell through twice there over the years, once in about 4 feet and the other in about 18 feet, it was cold but i stayed and toughed it out, warmed up in the truck for a bit and put some dry clothes on. hopefully tomorrow i find out if any giant goldfish are hungry, aka carp. hey cowboy ya gonna do a separate category for mirror carp!?theres a chance it could be open water though.

I haven’t been up to see. We got a nice 6 inch snow storm but it melted off quick and the roads are a mud bog. I kinda give up on Vernon. Too many people and too little fish. It used to really be fun. Then it got discovered by the masses and it’s went to heck in a hand basket. Throw in the fact the county never enforces anything from speeding to drunk and disorderly and the FS rarely even shows up, I has abandoned what was once a neat little pond. Good luck on Yuby. I’ve had a lot of fun down there as well.

You need to set a bit more lofty goals. I can send you a link to some motivational Ted Talks to get ya started.

Using a whole hotdog dog on a tip up, not quite what I was hoping for ??

How is the ice? I am wanting to Monday

RE: YUBA!!! - doitall5000 - 01-30-2021

Does the shore line allow easy access?
A picture of the dam area would be great.

RE: YUBA!!! - Fritzfishin - 01-30-2021

Soft edges we had to use some planks to get out... about 7"

Thank you, the snow has turned in slush.

RE: YUBA!!! - Fritzfishin - 01-30-2021

Definitely tougher getting off the ice then on it

RE: YUBA!!! - doitall5000 - 01-31-2021

Thanks for the great report, ice conditions can sure change fast.
Did you catch any walleyes this last year?

RE: YUBA!!! - Fritzfishin - 01-31-2021

Nope I didn't catch a single walleye there this last year. And nor did I hear of any caught actually? Just smallmouth wiper channels rainbows common and mirror carp

RE: YUBA!!! - doitall5000 - 01-31-2021

Maybe this spring I'll go down, I could once catch a good bunch of eyes there. Worth giving it another try.
I'll let you know. But only if I can catch then again.

RE: YUBA!!! - Fritzfishin - 01-31-2021

I try for them quite a bit there but it seems there's a better population at deer creek now days.

RE: YUBA!!! - doitall5000 - 01-31-2021

I agree deer creek has been the better producer. Given the good population s of other opportunities like small mouth and trout, not to mention much closer to me. Hope the party groups can be brought into a more respectful time. I wish the parks people would something about inforcement of laws. See ya out there one day.
