[quote Bigguyone1]100% of northerns that were caught in the last gill net study they did that I talked to them about had carp in their stomachs - NOTHING else.
PLEASE do your part to not kill the northern Pike in Yuba as it could be a good fishery and really is our ONLY one in the state at this point. PROTECT IT!

Because there is NOTHING else for them to eat. It's not a great situation. It would be great if they would eat nothing but carp and leave the perch alone so they could recover. That's not what is happening. The perch are in very short supply. The fishery will struggle until the perch make a comeback. They will have a difficult time recovering with lots of top end predators swimming around.
