I was there on 4/1 and saw the same. I had no idea what these trout were but now that I hear the term "tiger trout" I understand. We need to gain focus on the Root if we are going to keep and advance this stream as a great trout river.

All,
Not to be a skeptic, but are you certain these are Tigers?

ANother thing, this stream is a beaut! Use to be a day when fishing was exceptional from where you could jump across, all the way down past Choice. I haven't made it down there yet this season, but let's try and keep the S.F. a precious resource! Not to say your aren't!!!

This talk of "tigers" has me very interested!!
Thanks for the repos guys!!

What a beautiful fish, caught about a 10-12 inch Tiger out of there the other day. I'm thinking they must be stocked. though I never caught any brooks there until the last couple years, interesting!!

With all this talk of Tiger Trout I thought I had better head down there and try to catch one myself, for some nice photos, before the official opener hits. The trout were very cooperative, usually catching at least one fish from every "pocket" I fished. Even with the low clear water, the fish were aggressively attacking my rapala.

I caught mostly browns but also a smaller rainbow, but none of tigers I had hoped for. But two of the browns did have extremely white leading edges to their lower fins, something I had never noticed so defined before.

I didn't fish all the way up to Wisel, actually spent most of my time downstream of the co. rd 12 bridge. How far down from Wisel have you been catching these possible tiger trout. If I can swing friday off I might have to go try agian.

One other thing, I found three dead trout in about a 20 yard strech of stream, about a 1/2 mile down from the bridge, anyone else notice this.

I guess I have caught native browns in the past that have a white line on their fins, but these were not Tigers.
There is more than one "strain" of Brown trout introduced into our waters. SOme definitely need a few more seconds out of the water to be admired than others.
Not doubting you caught "tiger" trout, but the frequency has me a bit skeptical.

However, there is three real decent Brook trout streams that feed into the S.F. So, I guess it is possible!

Take some good "stills" next time and bring them over to Trout Day. I would love to see them and chat about that stream. Many a fine story!

Keep the rods bendin'!!!!

took a freind trout fishing today caught a trout that had no spots just thick black worm tracks. i caught this fish in nepstad. what kind of trout is this? and why do the trout look differant?

ill buy a dig camera mine got stole out of my truck and take a butch of pictures next time i go.

oh by the way i had 13 fish over 12 inches today. great day to be fishing except the 12 inches of powder to walk in.too bad opener is this weekend most of the fish i have been catching will be gone soon im sure. cant wait till there is catch and release only streams. ive seen private sections of stream that iv fished for a number of years go from an avg of 8 inches to 16 in three years of C&R awsome fishing to say the least.(sorry i will never say what stream.)

happy opener and CPR

troutman,
I'm not doubting your catches, just seriously curious.
Sounds like you had a great day on the water as well!!!!

I think if I go on opener, I'll probably bring the garbage bags instead of the rod and reel, picking up after all of the yahooos!

just to set the record straight the fish i thought were tiger trout were not. just a very colerfull variation of a brown. i was informed of this by dnr staff that shock that stream.

trout days was great. if you have children and they like to fish or they like the outdoors you need to go to the next trout days. I will be taking my little girl in the future.

thanks Jim and the other folks who put the event on.

I caught an 18" Brown last Sunday night on the Main Branch that didn't look anything like my normal catch. It was real beefy and had a totally different color to it....Thought it was a Rainbow at first. Maybe next time I hook um he'll be 20" and I'll get a pic. These fish are absolutely fun to hook up with! wink3.gif

WET NETS!

      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.
