Heading to White Water this Thursday... plan on using cranks, jigs, crawler, power bait... whatever so the kids can catch some...

Any particular ideas ???

Also what do you guys think about selective ahrvest there ??? Are these all stocked, is there natural production ???

Last ??? do they clip the adipose fin of hatchery fish ???

Selective harvest is kinda tough when bait fishing, trout tend to swallow bait. I flyfish but I used to spin fish and if you would like your kids to catch some eatin fish, catch some grasshoppers(which is fun for kids too).

I flyfish now beacause bait fishing just got to be way to easy and is not at all Catch and Realease friendly.

The white water area is stocked with rainbows BUT there natural repoduction of browns.

As far as clipping fins, I don't think so but its pretty safe to say any rainbow you catch is stocked.

Good Luck and Tight lines!

WALLEYE, DEPENDS ON THE AGE OF THE KIDS. BAIT (WORMS) IS THE BEST WITH YOUNGER KIDS BUT THE GRASSHOPPER IDEA IS A GREAT ONE ANOTHER ONE IS CRICKETS. I WAS GOING TO TRY THIS, IS CATCH A BUNCH OF GRASSHOPPERS AND CRICKETS ANTHING THAT HAS THE HARD SKELETON, AND FREEZE THEM. THEN SUPER GLUE THEM TO SMALL HOOKS, I'D USE THEM MAINLY ON A FLYROD BUT YOU'D THINK YOU COULD USE THEM JUST LIKE A WORM. NOW I KNOW THAT A FROZEN HOPPER IS NOTHING LIKE THE ONES THAT ARE ALIVE, BUT IF YOU'VE TRIED CASTING A HOPPER YOU TEND TO USE ABOUT 3 PER ONE CAST ON THE WATER. IF FROZEN AND GLUED YOU'D NEVER LOSE THEM.
WITH OLDER KIDS THAT CAN HANDLE A FISHING ROD SMALL SPINNERS AND RAPALAS WORK REAL WELL, PLUS IT GIVES THEM A CHANCE TO PRACTICE CASTING.
GOOD LUCK...

I never had too much trouble with the grasshoppers coming off. What you do is hold the hopper belly side up, run the hook under the chest plate starting at the neck. All the hook shank gets covered, like putting on a jig body. The trout like em fresh though. The only thing about hoppers is that they like to spit some brown stuff like tobbaco spit on your fingers when putting them on. eeewww! LOL

      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.
