Well well... just in time for some real meaty tidbit of all time! Sit down, fasten your seatbelt and hold on...
I spoke with a neighbor's father who is a DWR officer who oversees the central region including Yuba. I asked him if there was any outside chance that walleyes will be reintroduced back into Yuba... and this is what he had to say, "Yes we have been working on the securing of the christmas trees, transferring and releasing of perch into Yuba, the perch is really taking off right now, there are millions of frys proliferating. When the year class perch are stabilized, the water rising more and more, then we will discuss the readiness of all the factors, when the time is right the walleyes will be stocked." I said, "stocked?", he said "technically, its just transfer of walleyes from another place". I asked if they were going to catch walleyes from Starvation to ease the burgeoning numbers and put them into their new Yuba home? He said he has "not heard much but the name Starvation has been mentioned in the transfer of 'eyes." Then he said there was a mention of ordering walleye frys from the east but nothing else was said.
So you can see the intent is clear by the DWR to reintroduce walleyes when the time is right. Yahooooooo! It would make sense before the perch population became too much, and would crash too soon, the walleye comes into the picture to help with the balancing of the huge perch population.
