[quote Dog-lover]... why spend money and resources at any location so restricted by water level.[/quote]
Have you read anything previously posted??
It has been pointed out that $$$ spent on rotenone treatment return more $$$$ than if you don't treat.
That video is a very small and narrow scope. Those fish were specifically targeted. That is certainly not a true estimate of population averages in Yuba.
I keep coming back to this: If Yuba was a true quality pike fishery right now, why on earth would those same biologists that made the video want to do anything to it??
You have to remember, those managers also fish. They love fish. They love big fish. That's what they want. Quality fisheries. When they get quality fisheries, they fight anglers to keep quality fisheries. When they have fisheries that need improving, they fight to improve them. They do not operate in opposite world.
