Ocean, the DWR knows why Yuba cycles. But it's been the recent increased interest and angler involvement that has enabled the DWR to dedicate some of their limited resources to the lake.
Also, white bass would only compete with the perch. That's why if a secondary forage base is introduce it needs to be one that doesn't compete with the existing forage base. What a shame if Yuba were to fill up with millions of stunted white bass that would outcompete the perch and walleye. I think the current plan is sound.
As for the Yuba tree project, here's some info and pics... [url "http://www.utahbassfederation.org/Events_Activities/Yuba_Project/pictures_from_the_yuba_structure.htm"]http://www.utahbassfederation.org/Events_Activities/Yuba_Project/pictures_from_the_yuba_structure.htm[/url]
