I have so advice for you. Put away those spinners and use rapalas. Big ones. Out there a average brown trout may be as big as 20 inches or better on some rivers. Browns this size will only chase a bait fish if there going to get more energy from eating it, then they've spent chasing it.

One other thing, keep in mind that many of the rivers out there do not allow the uses of certain lures, bait, or are fly fish only.

I allways take a good assortment of stone fly's, royale wolf and hopper patterns. I also have a few patterns that I have come up with, try some parachute paterns in black and elk hair brown. I tie some that look like an ordinary house fly that they really love. If your into fly fishing there is no greater feeling of accomplishment than to catch a fish on your own pattern. Remember to bring polarized glasses and a good pair of felt soled waders.(Slippery rocks)
If you have more quesions send me an email and I can attach some pictures that may help you.

Thanks again for the great advice. I picked up some waders with felt soles at Cabelas last Saturday and some Raps in brown trout pattern. Hope to get a chance to test the fly rod on the Straight River near Park Rapids on the week of the 4th.

Lucklyredhat I hope you weren't planning on fishing the hex hatch. Park Rapids got almost 4 inches of rain over the weekend with more rain expected last night and today. I'm crushed frown.gif because I was looking foward to fishing the hex hatch this year. Hopefully the river will be back to normal by the end of the week.

Had a great time on the Cache le Poudre last week. Caught my first wild trout on a dry fly (mesquito pattern) and learned how to fish nymphs successfully. Thanks for the tip on the river. It is an incredibly beautiful area that holds a great variety of wildlife.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
