[cool][#0000ff]Thanks Mike. Hold the stick. I get enough of that, thank you. Usually the short end.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Yuba can be tough. Fortunately, I have scored some nice 'bows this year, and I have always had a fond spot in me old heart for that pond. It ain't much now, but I do gots my memories...and hopes for the future. Since I have seen it go through several 10 year boom and bust cycles, I have some degree of optimism.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I think Mama Nature will find a way, with the fishies in there. Has before, without any help from DWR. The perch are in an explode mode and everything else will follow. Until they have a good population though, it would just mess everything up to dump in a bunch more predators.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]There have been no smallies or largies stocked (legally) into Yuba that I know of. However, I caught a largemouth many years ago and have heard of several others. I imagine they fought their way downstream from homes in Gunnison and Redmond. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]And, since there are also smallies in the Sevier drainage, I don't suppose it would be unlikely to find them in Yuba sometime.[/#0000ff]
