Ruining Yuba

[Gooseberry]

Yuba is a Boom or Bust lake. That is the way I look at it. There is no conservation pool and the majority of those fish will be dead in a drought year. Look at the last 15 years on Yuba: Great perch, to nothing. Great rainbows to nothing. Good walleyes to nothing. Good cat fish to little. Great pike today, but what will it be in 3 years? It is a large reservoir, with enough escapement that pike will live and reproduce and there will be more pike next year and the year after. Until ag and industry call for their water that is.
