Don't forget Walleye.
It used to be one of the best fisheries in the state for ol marble eyes and now that the perch have rebounded, it will be again.
I have never heard of smallies in there but I guess it shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

[cool][#0000ff]I am a "Yuba-ite" going back over 30 years. It has always been one of my favorite fishing holes...expecially the spillway area below the dam...before vandals got it closed to fishing.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I agree with the list you posted...at least in the past. It will probably be a while before we can either confirm or deny the continued existence of some of those fishies, since the lake was drained.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Since Yuba is on the Sevier River drainage, virtually any fish found further upstream could pop up in Yuba...including both smallmouth and largemouth. I caught both in years past. Not a lot, but once in a while. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]We had all better do a heavy SNOW DANCE this winter unless we want that lake to revert to a carp filled mudhole again.[/#0000ff]
