white bass in yuba

[Fishrmn]

Trout weren't expected to reproduce in Yuba. They were put there to give anglers something to catch while the perch tried to reproduce. There are very few trout fisheries that would still hold numbers of trout with no plantings for 6 or 7 years. Otter Creek Reservoir and Piute Reservoirs grow some impressive trout. They are impoundments of the same river as Yuba. And the trout that were in Yuba were quite a draw while they lasted. One of our own members has a profile picture of a very nice looking trout that was caught at Yuba. Once the Northern Pike took hold it would be futile to plant any more though.

I am not saying that the white bass would be the best answer to the lake, but at least look into it and not turn your nose up to the idea before you even give it any thought.

What makes you think that there hasn't been a ton of thought go into this?
