Just wondering what everyone's favorite/go to stream trout lures are for iceing them stream trout. I would have to say mine is the smallest swedish pimple, silver w/ chartruse or pearl tape and a waxworm. I used to do the bobber thing, but have had better luck jigging 'em here around the Grand Rapids area.

hey bmc, i fish stream trout up north as well, iron range area. i've had really good luck with the mepps line of single hook spinners, esp. the spin flies, wooly worms, and the thunderbug. tip 'em with a waxworm as well, or mini-marshmallow, corn. i've also had luck with the rebel cricket, the smallest one they make, wiggles like crazy though it has two small treble hooks and i've lost about a million of those things to bushes and trees.

Hey jim, Its almost time for a smart fire...... "Sneak n cast" I can't wait!!!!!!!!

Somehow I can't vision stream trout through the ice. "Put n take" rainbows yes, but not true stream trout.


WET NETS!

My favorite spinner would have to be the 1/6oz white rooster tail and the # 9 black and silver Original Floating Rapala!
Go too small and you "might" just catch small!lol


Woops, re-read and noticed this was for ice fishing! Mostly chrome spoons or flashy spoons from a variety of brands tipped with a minnow head! Size to me will relate to the aggressive levels of the trout!

usually fish the dark river between dark/sturgeon lakes, which technically is britt, mn, 'bout midway between virginia and cook, mn. farther north/downstream you go on the river (towards sturgeon), the better the fish is what i've been told, tho i usually hit the easier accessible spots. very small trout, usually, but when they're biting it's nuts, lotsa fun on those windy days when i can't take the boat out on the lake, lol.

i fish the dark river, which runs from dark lake to sturgeon lake in britt, mn (apprx. midway between virginia and cook). i hit a couple easy access spots on the stream when it is too windy to be out on my lake in the boat, though i've been told that the farther downstream/north you go, toward sturgeon, the better the fish (rumor has it big german browns). course, access harder there.

i have seldom caught anything sizable, usually they're very small, but plentiful and fun, esp. later in the season (lots of deer, grouse and turkeys out in the woods too). if you want more info, email me at [email protected] and we can trade iron range fishing holes, tho i'm not giving up my secret spot on the stream, lol.

(this is second time i've posted to you, hope it shows up this time)

fishinchick,
i have lived in the dark river area my whole life and my great grandfathers homestead is on the river. my family owns both of the only 2 private spots on the river. including the place on the snowmobile trail where you probably fish from the hiking trail. i was just wondering where you saw turkeys up there. im my 29 years the only turkeys i have seen up here were the ones from the cities who come up to fish trout!

This is way off the subject, but am wondering if any of you ever knew a Dr. Wheeler that lived on a lake in the Britt area? If so I'd be interested in emailing you. Sounds like more than one poster on this thread has lived in the area for awhile and I've been trying to reconnect with someone in his family for some time.

      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.
