Thanks for posting your biggie st fanatic. Love that photo. I think that fish was certainly a highlight of your summer. What time of day? What pound line? How did he fight?

Terminal Tackle those are some incredible brookies. Assume wild versus put and take here in MN lakes? On the North Shore some lake are stocked with splake that I hear can grow large. So how do you catch the big brookies? Assume troll. Do you need downriggers? Need to plan a Canadian vacation next summer...

it was just over 26"it is my largest to date but unfortunately not my heaviest (I did release it beautiful all the same) caught in the spring on lake Nipigon.

I thought it was some sort of salmon at first before I looked more closely. Geez. Now you gotta get a 15-pounder...

scudly" no need for downriggers,these brookies in the spring are in the shallows(usually troll with one guy on the front casting bring them off the shoreline for the guy in the back)........normally if fish the river, seems to be bigger ones there,more colourful to...........drift fishing (can't tell you all my secrets .LOL going to try to get back into flyfishing next year haven't done it for years.

oh ya i've been meaning to ask someone about gut hooked i've been hearing it lots lately on other posts what does it mean??????????

Terminal tackle what kind of bait do you use? Crawlers, leaches, minnows? Jig, slip bobber, Lindy rig?

It sounds like you don't keep these big brookies, or maybe keep the mortally injured ones? I imagine these are in good numbers or is there commercial harvest? Good reproduction or put and take? I have little knowledge of how fisheries are managed in Canada. Thought Lake of the woods nets on Canadian side comercially?

not to often i keep them (maybe 2 a year)as for the mortally wounded ones you still can't keep them unless they are 22' or greater.As good numbers there are good numbers this is a big body of water (plus the river that is 30+miles long,no commerical harvest on brook trout what so ever.Also this is not a put and take lake all wild trout.(there are some put and take lakes here i fish in the off season,,,these lakes do not close.The regs here are quite stiff....

sorry i can't tell you what i use a true trout fisherman never reveals his secert hope you understand......

i like the way you think terminal tackle.

as to your question mark i caught it on live bait using 4# berkley trilene XL. 9:15 am. like mentioned on another forum i was on the job when this fish was caught. actually didnt fight like you think he would have thank God. there are quite a few snags in the hole i caught him out of. got his head turned on or shortly after hook set my buddy jumped in and the rest was history. CPR.

st fanatic what did you catch this monster on? What # line? I lost a ~32" female brown on 10lb braided Spider. She is still there. Believe big trout (like northerns) have sharp teeth that can cut line. My braided was pretty fresh.

scudly you need to get rid of the spider wire and go to power pro. with that said periodic checking of the line for frays is VERRY important. northern was caught on 50# power pro i believe 10 or 12 lb. dia., steel leader, gold blade with yellow buck tail.

i run a delivery truck for the family biz. im paid on salary so as long as the work gets done and i dont have to drive way out of the way it doesnt mater.

      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.
