[quote MasterDaad]I remain of the opinion any money spent trying to "manage" Yuba is money wasted
...
Poision will kill may kill unwanted fish (at a very high price tag).
...
Ergo, "managing" Yuba is a waste of money in my view.

Q. Why is rotenone treatment
cost effective?
A. It has been estimated that for
each dollar spent on rotenone
and stocked trout, anglers gained
from $32 to $105 worth of fishing.
On trout lakes that were
stocked but not treated, the gain
from fish stocking alone was
only $10 to $15.[/quote]
If your concern is "wasting money", then how can the DWR, or anglers, not consider rotenone as a management tool for lakes like Yuba??
