In response to a previous post about Yuba being "fantastic" for the last two years, I think walleye fisherman might have a different opinion as to how "fantastic" it has been.

That's exactly correct. Maybe Walleye fishermen have been disappointed with Yuba for the last two years (same with perch fishermen). However, look at overall fishing hours on that lake the last two years. Yuba has seen more angler hours simply due to the success of rainbows for the last two years. When the walleye take over, and rainbows disappear, angler hours will also decline. You won't get the typical recreational anglers making trips to Yuba any longer. You'll only have a handfull of Walleye fishermen.
I'm OK with that. It's not my preference, but I'm OK with giving the Walleye guys another Walleye lake. I do, however, think it's a shame that the state will be losing such a great trout fishery.
