[cool][#0000ff]I haven't heard ANY good reports on big bows this year. There have been isolated catches of a few small fish, and an occasional 20 incher, but not the multitude of big nasties we caught last year.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Also, many of the fish that are showing up are thinner and some have anchor worms on their sides. There were a few on the one I caught yesterday.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]How long are you back in town? Wanna do a coldwater trip to Huntington?[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have not seen or heard of any tigers being caught in Yuba either. However, I strongly suspect that some of the small fish I have seen popping the top might be tigerettes. If they were planted as tiny fry, most of them probably didn't survive the perch onslaught.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I'm attaching a couple of pics of a perch I caught last month at Yuba that had a small trout sticking out of its mouth. Turns out that it was a rainbow, from a batch of surplus fry they had just planted.[/#0000ff]
