There is enough open water on the west side of Yuba to launch a boat now. It's pretty well open from a little bit north of the state park all the way across the lake to the east. It looks like there's some open water at the narrows. There are several hundred yards of open water out from the ramp and around the dam. It looks like it goes quite a ways around the south side also. You could definitely troll for trout, it that's your thing. I tossed a spinner for about 1/2 right at sunup, nada. I then tried a jig on the bottom for about 15 min- all by the bridge. Never even got a hit. No fish surfacing.
