[quote Jedidiah]I love the perch at Fish Lake. This year's catch down there has definitely increased in size as a result of the translplating to Yuba, I think.
If they got completely rid of the perch and managed it as a lake trout fishery, I might end up going there maybe 4 or 5 more times in my entire lifetime, realistically speaking. Instead, I go 4 or 5 times a year. It's also a great place for me to take kids and friends to get them hooked on fishing, unlike any other. If anything there should be MORE lakes with lots of perch.[/quote]
Jed -- imagine going to fish lake and catching the same number of splake that you catch perch now. Now, add in the very high liekly hood of throwing in a 10lb mack here and there. And maybe one 20+ lb mack every couple years.
It wasn't very long ago that we had 100 splake days at Fish Lake. I can promise you, kids enjoy catching 16" splake all day long more than they do 6" perch all day long!! That's a reality that is within reach!
