This is very curious news. I was under the impression that the fish population would be preserved by the construction of a temporary dam. It would seem that there have been some problems with that idea and now we are looking at something else. However, if the lake is to be drained it would be a perfect opportunity for yuba to get some of the things it has needed so desperatley in the past years. Cover and structure could be added with the water gone, and a stocking program that focused on establishing a good bait fish population prior to reintroducing predators could really fix a lot of the things that have hurt the fishery.
Does any one know who runs the state park down there and also who is the head biologist for the fish and game over yuba? I would be interested in working with these individuals and BFT members to do some volunteer projects down there to improve the future fishery while the water is low.
