Dragonfish2, what do you mean for the fly guy? Based on your post i am just guessing but you must have had an issue with the size of trout?? If this is the case i personally know of 3 24 inch plus browns that have been caught out of the rush this year. My largest brown taken to date was out of the Rush, 261/2 incher. No doubt that their are fewer large browns in the Rush than there were say 8 years ago but there are many still in there. There has been a increase in the number of smaller fish, partially because of what Renneberg mentioned earlier, but I think many other reasons have contributed to this. That 26 1/2 incher was taken on a black woolly bugger along with the 3 24s caught this year. I am a flyfisherman and i am in pursuit of large fish as much as the next guy. best of luck in the future....

smells not at all. thats not what I ment. Ever since Rennberg posted about this river last sept. Ive wanted to check it out. and finaly did, was not disapointed at all. there were trout everywhere. but I could not get one to bite to save my life. Sorry its taken so long to get back to you but to many 13+ hour work days.I spent satuday and sunday out there and had time to study the fish and thats why right now I know that where I was fly fishing with just the right size and color of fly would be the only way to get one. still a little tired more details later. and also I ran into one of those playfull water dogs in the first 5 minutes I got there.

Dragon Fish II, if I we're you I'd keep fishing those trout you found on the Rush. The Browns are hard to catch everywhere on the Rush.

Try fishing lighter line or try fluorocarbon line.

I'm headed over there tommorow with me brother-in-law. I'll report back on how we do.

Sorry for the late reply. We caught about 20 trout each. None of much size, but we did watch several trout in the 18 inch class follow the lures out until they seen us.
Seen lots of nice trout eating bugs off the surface, but since I'm not very good at bug I.D.ing I couldn't tell you what they were. They looked like some kind of very small mayfly.

      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.
