Yuba?

[ragslayer42]

Thanks for the welcome, haha, you guys hit the nail on the head, got to take what you can find in the Utah general elk hunt! Was catching many species of nice fish off the boat last spring in there, but haven’t figured them out through the ice, specifically walleye, oh well, spring is near

Love those rags.
I will crack one of those ten minutes in to Opening Day and not even regret it for a second!

I agree, hard to beat the meat on a young bull

Walleye through the ice are a strange breed !!All the research I have done over the past 40+ years indicate that live bait is the trick,  illegal in Utah!!  If you freeze chub and other minnows like TD does, the that is the next best thing here.  Also,  timing is critical.  First ice is best, early in th3e morning and late in the evening.  We don't get the hard freeze's that they get in the Mid west/uppermid west where you 5-6 inches with the first freeze,  so the good bite is gone by the time safe ice appears.  For those that want to try,  a tipup with a frozen minnow would be the best,  but we can only have two (2) rods/outfits out ,  so that limits  us greatly.  If I were going to Yuba on the ice,  I would work up the Park side, or walk over to the points across from the ramp the ramp and work from 10-12 ft out to 30-40 ft.  That is a lot of walking by the way !!  You can always come in from the painted rocks side,  but I would imagine that the water up there is pretty skinny!!  Good Luck if you try !!!

Thanks for the info! We were able to get out on the ice a couple times last week, it was 6+ in the narrows, no luck! I’d imagine the ice is melted now with the warm spell, maybe next year!
