Oh so much that could be said about the June Sucker issue. Unfortunately, it is pretty much decided, recover or lose the lake.
As to the Northern issue. I have been fishing UL for almost as long as some others on the board, many of them with TD . It has only been in the last few years that we have been hearing of and seeing Northern's being caught. Although there were stockings early in the history of UL, they never really took.
My personal belief is that someone pulled a few from Yuba and dropped em in UL in the last few years. The removal of carp per the June Sucker Recovery project has given them a better chance to survive. I will wager 2 rapala's that when the genetic studies are done on these critters, they will match the genetics of the fish out of Redmond and Yuba.
While it would be nice to have them there, a thriving population would be to great a cost, as it would result in the Feds taking over the lake and doing really rude things to it.
So, CATCH EM AND KEEP EM !!!! The only good Northern at UL is a DEAD one.
