My whining about Yuba

[Duckbutter]

I fished a reservoir in western colorado on friday in the cold rain for just a few hours, and landed 7 fish, all were 18-25 inches. Kept 2 19 inchers, which ended up being a male and female, with lots of fry making material in each. With smaller pike become sexually mature fairly quickly, have a large limit on smaller pike will not hurt the population, hopefully help the perch re-establish and balance the fishery. I wasn't at the RAC meeting, and I probably would have pushed to protect fish over 28 inches or so, but I am all for the liberal harvest of hammer handles.

Once a healthy trophy population has been established, self predation takes care of the hammer handle problem on it's own.

I think I may be chasing toothy water wolves this weekend as well.
