yuba?

[cool][#0000ff]The pike will be spawning right after iceout. Look for them in shallow coves with some stickups or flooded brush, if the water level is high enough. The big shallow bay on the north side to the east of the narrows is one spot. Otherwise, cruise the shallow shorelines from Painted Rocks up toward Lafayette, casting to structure. The fish will be shallow and aggressive.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Although trout do not spawn well in Yuba, they still go through the motions. Many will try to go up the Sevier River but there is no spawning gravel. Still others will try to build nests along gravel banks in the main lake or on wind washed points. You can walk the shoreline and see them cruising in close. They are not feeding much but will smack spinners or other flashy lures.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The perch are probably spawning right now, under the ice. Walleyes will be right behind them, but are still not very abundant. Hopefully they will get off a good spawn this year and some of the newly hatched fry will escape the hordes of hungry perch.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I plan to hit the upper lake (tubing) as soon as the ice is off. [/#0000ff]
