Hey, Acey,
Your comment about the Sacramento perch in Pruess (or Garrison) res. really piqued my curiosity. I remember fishing there in the spring around 50 or so yrs. ago & catching a tubful of those perch. We'd fish the stream right where it enters the res. & take them about as fast as we could pull them out.
Anyway, how long ago did you catch the perch there? I haven't heard a thing about it for 30 or more yrs. In fact the last I heard was from the DWR. I guess they put some LMB in there around then & did a gill net survey to see how they were doing & found some Sacramento perch fry in the LMB stomachs.
I absolutely love that country out there, in fact I've got roots that probably go 50 ft. down in the soil around Baker.
On the subject of the Yuba spillway, I used to haul a pickup load of trash outta down there a couple times a year. Wonder if a few of us more responsible fisher types found who to contact & agreed to help keep the area clean if they would consider letting us in there again? Maybe even on a special permit basis.
