free walley at yuba

You guys are funny...what Fishrmn is saying and is correct about is this: nothing is controlling the populations of walleye and pike. Nothing. So, if pike and walleye are eating some carp and remaining somewhat healthy doing so, they are also reproducing and producing more predators. The problem is that carp do NOT make good forage for predators because they grow too quickly to remain a viable prey species...that's why there are so dang many carp in Yuba. For walleye and pike numbers and sizes to reach an optimum, perch or some other more viable prey species needs to have a strong foothold. Yuba sees large boom and bust cycles in its predator species because the prey species boom and bust....this is a fact in many of our reservoirs. Sadly, people like Cliff, don't understand this. It is NOT about trout versus walleye/pike...it is about what is best for the walleye and pike.
