Here's a link to the regs. http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/news/releases/index.html?id=1072202135

Lets keep in mind that the new regs only effect 20% of the streams in S.E. Minnesota.

While I don't agree with the all of it, for example; catch and release only on the Middle Branch of Whitewater and South Branch of the Root. Families staying in the two state parks on those river should be able to harvest trout from that section of river.

Over all I think it's a step in the right direction.

Thanx Renneberg, I like the purposed changes. You brought up a good point that it only affects some 137 miles of water out of 680 or something so everybody should be able to find a place they enjoy. At least it is worth the study to find out the affects.

PRetty interesting proposals to say the least. Not sure exactly how I feel about them.

I Have fished a majority of those streams and if the DNR believes this will impact in a positive manner.........For the most, I need to support their decision not with out reservation and hesitation.

Miles of water might not look like much, but that is a very small picture in this management window.

IT's a start. My mine concern with ANY new proposals is awareness. I come across many many fisherman each year who are oblivious to regulations. Regulations as simple as limit and standard size restrictions.

We that know about these changes need to spread the word, or else it WILL fail.

All who fish need to abide by these restrictions.

See you at Trout Day fellas.

Mpfish-
What part of the new regulations are you fed up with? Like Renneberg and Jim, I think the new regulations are a step in the right direction. They are an attempt to improve the quality of fish and fisheries in SE MN. Dorothy, this isn't Kansas anymore. Fishing pressure on trout streams gets higher every year, and will continue. So restrictions should change accordingly. I rarely keep trout, so I support more restrictions. Mpfish, I'm curious... what part of the new regs is the petition (note the spelling) against? I see that the DNR had numerous public meetings before they created the proposed regs. Mpfish, did you or any of the "petitioners" voice your concerns at these meetings?

One last thing. Yes, awareness is key. But enforcement of these new regulations is important, also. Why do Minnesotans have such a hard time with changing regulations? Anyone ever see the regulations in Wisconsin? They change every year! As a responsible fisher, we need to know the regulations where we're fishing.

These new regulations are proposed for the 2005 fishing season so they are not currently in effect. I believe the catch and release section on the middle branch of white water, which is what the state park is on, would start at the upstream boundary of the park so the state park itself would not be catch and release.
I personally am looking forward to seeing what the new regulations can accomplish. There are still plenty of trout in our SE MN streams, but because of the increasing pressure it seems like it is getting harder and harder to catch trout over 16 inches. I think these regulations will help and it still allows people to keep a few fish for the table.

I wish they would impose these type of regulations on the few streams by me in Central MN. The only trout I keep are ones from Put'N Take Lakes. And I've seen people, which any trout they catch at the river goes into the creel/bucket from a 6" brookie to a 17" Brown.

      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.
