I am quite sure they were there to take eggs from the northerns which I dont agree with. What a waste of a damn good fish, we all know they will die, but when they catch walleye they should have returned them back as soon as they found them in the nets. Why did the DWR keep them and then hand them out (still alive) to people on the docks? After all isnt the goal for Yuba Res. to eventually become the premier walleye fishery in the west? What a dream. The feller that made the original post has spent hundreds of hours and a lot of money just like myself to learn how to find and catch Northerns. It kills me that there is such a huge body of water in my back yard that is so worthless for fishing. The attitude is kill the Northerns so walleye can survive. Thats dumb, leave the Northerns so they will help kill carp. Yes the perch #'s are down but I know 100% for sure Northerns will eat carp, I have found them in their bellys. I could go on and on about Yuba Res. for hours but I know it wont do any good. Carp are the real problem, have a commercial fisherman cast some nets and get them gone. Plant some perch, blue gill, crappie, trout by the millions and lets see how things turn out. We might be pleasantly suprised.
