While I agree with PBH in the harvest as many as you can to maintain the pike size, every fishery manager in the Midwest( home of the northern pike) advocates just the type of slot Yuba has.One fish over 36". It is not a "feel good" regulation. Big pike will eat a lot of small pike so leave the bigger ones in the lake and harvest a bunch of smaller pike. Study after study and real life history shows that that type of slot will maintain a trophy pike fishery. That's why the slot exists on Yuba. But small pike MUST be harvested with the numbers Yuba has.
