went back to Yuba today. and went to see if some pike were around..
went to a area that has been good in the past. found 15 feet of water and gave it a try..
good news is there is a ton of perch in that lake. but what are they doing in 15 feet of water with ice on the lake?

I am planning on hitting it on the first with the family. Yuba ice fishing brings back many memories of the old days when it was one of the few places to ice fish. I still have a scar on my forehead from a trip I took with my dad when I was real young and my pants were falling down and my dad was trying to help me and ended up landing me face first on the ice.

no i will not be there jan 1.. i'm not going to spend 5 buck to go to a state park where you have to pay! and the road is un-plowed and the iron ranger is a block of ice with no way of getting a envlope out of it!
i hate how thay have made it there now.. there is no reason to have to pay in the winter if there is no survice!!!
and then only get to fish for 10 min's to top it off! no thank's..
the only reason i'm fishing it now is i can fish as long as i want, just can't keep any perch. after the first you have to keep every perch you catch and you have to stop after 10 fish.. ok it was takeing me addvrage 35 seconds today per fish.. so in about 6 min's i would have been done!! ..
no i will go to fish lake where it's free and i can take as many perch as i like and try for a big mac as well..

I'd like to get in on the action too on the first! Does one have to stop fishing if they are fishing for pike or trout (after having caught a perch limit already)?

the sign at the ranger shack there at pantied rock said 5.00 bucks per car up to 7 pepole. 8 or more it was 7.00.. i think. i did not pay ether day!!
and i dont think i should have to pay ether!
if the state of Utah want's to charge me to go fishing in a place that was free for years!
then they better at lest plow the road and unlock the bathrooms!! if they are not going to maintane the grounds why should i pay them anything????

I fell the same way if they want the money they should earn it by plowing and keeping the places open....
I like the Painted rocks side of the lake and will be their on the first if any one want to join us come on down I should get there around 10:30 to 11:00...

I think you will have to stop catching perch, or stop using what perch will hit the ticket is not worth catching a few more perch....

The wife and I both enjoyed the video, we used to ice fish this at least once a year when the big perch were there, probably 7 to 8 years ago since our last perch outing there. We have a pair on the wall with hers going 2lbs. even and mine 1 lb. 14 oz. We also fished the walleye when it was great fishing for them. We would pull our 5th wheel down around the first of April and leave it there all summer. Haven't done that since the spring of 2002. We will be there in a couple weeks for a day or two fishing hopefully it will stay cold and I can get to some of my favorite areas. I enjoy reading your posts, kind of remind me of myself. I have a good friend who lives in Salina and he will be there with the "CROWD" New Year's day and said he would keep me informed on the ice conditions. Have a great day fishing where ever you go Ron and thanks again for you pictures and input to the site. [cool]
