So last Sunday after getting blown off of Waconia I tried Pierson Lake just to the southeast. It's listed as a tiger lake and I see the DNR has done some stocking, but was wondering if anyone has actually got anything out of there, and what type of size structure exists in the lake. We got one pretty nice pike at 35" and smaller one but still fairly thick. However there were no follows by the tigers. I'm just wondering if this would be a good lake to hop over to when Waconia gets windy. Or what about Wasserman that is nearby as well.

Thanks

Tom

I've fished the lake for bass and will occasionally see a tiger sitting up shallow but tigers and I have never gotten along well...

Its too bad they're discontinuing the stocking on these smaller lakes. They might not have the great fishing as other lakes but it's nice to have a lake to yourself when you swing by after getting a headache on tonka

when is the last year they stocked peirson. Ive gotten some dandys oughta there, the thought of loosing that lake makes me sick.

Go to the Brainerd Muskies, Inc HSOforum and you'll find stocking info for the entire state dating back to 1998. Just google "Brainerd muskies" and you'll find the HSOforum.

who can i contact to protest such changes? this is a step towards the elimination of tiger muskie stocking all together. They want everything to become pure strain. Isnt there like a tiger chapter to muskies inc or something?

Yes i know the muskie stocking effort has become so great i never thought id see the day. muskie fishing seems to be thriving, but theres all this talk of moving away from hybrid stocking to pure strain. Id like to see the outmost hybird stocking possible, I spouse the dnr has reasons for not wanting to stock certian lakes though, kind of a supply and demand thing. tigers may not thrive in certain lakes but ill do what i can to see the continuation of tiger muskie stocking in every lake possible. They stock hybirds heavily thus far and for good reason but with budget cuts reaching an all time high it a give and take proposal moving foward.

The DNR came and talked to our MI chapter about the proposed changes to the tiger fisherie a couple months back

I dont have my handout that they passed out but I will get another copy from my friend I will also have the contact person for tiger info

the plan is to go down to 9 lakes managed for tigers which would be less then the current total "However" those 9 would be more heavily stocked I can only remember 6 right now

Gervais chain

Johanna

Clear

Cedar in Shakopee

Elmo

Nokomis

and I think Bryant and or Hyland

Calhoun chain will be switched over to purestain.

some of the tiger lakes to be dropped the dnr is finding really havent produced the quality size fish or are not being fished enough.

"personally myself" the Idea of 9 lakes with heavier stocking 'action lakes' seems cool to me..

      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.
