O.K. so now I'm 
. Are there Perch in Yuba or not? According to your highly accurate statistics, if you put 10,000 Perch in Yuba they will be gone in three days.So do the Walleye and Pike stop eating everything in the lake and just eat the freshly planted fish?
You just say can't can't can't. Is the glass always less than half full in your little world?
And what is the goal? Just wait ten or fifteen years and maybe get a good two year cycle of Perch?
Thats kinda the same as doing nothing.
The top end predators will not be reduced by the fishing pressure Yuba is getting at this point. And as the big predators are taken out, the carp will just take over. Carp eat all the vegetation and nothing will ever grow to support Perch spawning. Artificial structure was added for the Perch and it seemed to help temporarily. Drought, draining the lake and letting carp become the dominant species wiped out the Perch as much as the Walleye and Pike.Now we have high water and may have a real good year for Perch. Any bonus Perch put into the system could help control the carp fry and may actually survive to spawn. Or we can just sit back and hope that ten or so years down the road something changes. Thats not a plan or an action. Its just hoping for the best. Hows that hope and change working out ?
