4th Annual Trout Day


Paul Waldowski

Recommended Posts

This will be the first of many informationals on the 4th Annual Trout Day May 1st, 2004.
To start, it is FREE!!!!! Everyone is welcome.
From youth/children on up. From those who want to learn about trout fishing and the SE MN region to the novice to the "expert".

Brief background:
I created this day to bring outdoor enthusiasts, fisherman of all ages together, learning, sharing and enjoying one of SE MN's
most precious natural resources. Enjoying it in the heart of the Karst region at Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park.

It is not a commercial event. I have fished SE MN well beyond 20 years and wanted to share with others. Call me selfish, but I find it paramount to educate others on the resources. I'd love to take you to my favorite fishing streams and holes, but what would become of such a gesture? I am a trusting individual, but....I think you get the picture.

The more who understand what it's(SE MN Trout Fishing) all about the better chance we all can begin sharing our "honey holes"!

Plus, SE MN has sooooo much to offer in it's pure beauty and excellent fishing. We need to support the DNR in it's fine work, managing many streams creating now the best trout fishing in 30 years!!!!!!

TO dangle a carrot, there will be presentations and activities from Minn Aqua,
the DNR, local "experts" and a real treat this year from a real/true "River Rat".(more on that).

Plus, if you attend, you have a very good chance at winning gear/tackle, certificates, professionally guided fishing trips and resort stays!

DId I say it's Free??????

If you have attended in the past feel free to share your experience and suggestions!


Keep the rods bendin'!!!

Jim once again has worked hard to secure a ton of "door" prizes. Last year my wife won a full day guided trip for two on Cass Lake with Brian Jones. And a couple years back I won a guided trip on the St.Criox with Turk. So it shouldn't take much to guess where my wife and I will be May 1st!!

So tell your friends, bring your kids, and I'll see you there!

Renneberg,

YEs it is coming up fast.
Getting real busy. I have two Television appearances next week. ONe where I will be taking a FOX 47 media person trout fishing for a filmed segment for Trout Day. Hope I can produce!!!LOL

Streams need more water!! I don't mind hitting bigger water, but like the seclusion of smaller!

Fihsing is pretty good if you put the time in!

  • Your Responses - Share & Have Fun :)

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
