[quote cje04]Will a catch rate of 1 fish / hour ...really qualify Yuba as a desination fishery?

Yes!
1 fish / hour is a very good catch rate!
This is a pretty standard measurement / target for catch rates.
Compare this to the current Fish Lake Management plan which has the following goals:
[ul][li]angler catch rate of >0.75 fish per hour for all trout and kokanee combined[/li][li]summer angler catch rate of >0.5 fish per hour for rainbow trout and kokanee[/li][li]winter angler catch rate for splake of >0.5 fish per hour and summer angler catch rate of >0.1 fish per hour[/li][li]increase angler harvest rate of perch to >2.0 per hour[/li][/ul]
that last one I listed is significant pertaining to the question from cje04. Look at the numbers of perch anglers catch at Fish Lake -- and the goal is 2.0 per hour.
Again, 1.0 fish per hour is good fishing.
