Here is a picture of my rainbow when I got it home. My son was all excited to see the fish and was upset he couldn't keep it and that I had to cut it up to eat it. Those big fish sure give some thick fillets. I'm pretty sure this bow was a hatchery fish because some of his fins were worn off nubs similar to the normal hatchery fish.

I don't know where TubeDude was looking when he wasn't seeing the millions of minnows that were in the water. I couldn't believe how many 1 to 2 inch minnows were cruising around shore in and out of the rocks. This is a picture of just one of the pockets of minnows. I caught one of the minows and took some close up pictures of it to try to ID it. See the post about identifying Yuba's minnows for these pictures.

Along with my rainbow I caught a perch that was about 10 inches long and a carp that was about 2 pounds. The carp made an amazing escape when the rock I was standing on rolled and I ended up standing in the water. Thank goodness for gore tex boots.
The weather was awesome the morning of the trip up until we got back to Utah County and hit the rain storm. I must say I am not a big fan of spinning around on the freeway while watching other cars and hoping not to hit any of them. Here is a picture of CarpPunishers handy work to his car. You can see him by the side of the car and in the background, on the ground, you can see the sign post that attacked us. What a rush but I must say I prefer the rush of catching a fish over sliding across the freeway.

Overall, even with the accident, it was a fun trip. I think Yuba is going to be a slow action fishery with potential for big fish. I just wonder if it will ice up!!!!!
