Carp and other Rough fish pics

lots of good trout water down there.

i've never gotten a brookie, i just haven't found them, but i heard that when you do they're pretty easy to catch. but browns and bows can be pretty challenging.

you'll love it, they're beautiful fish and there's a real zen to catching them

here is a carp i caught (2009) with an arrow hole in it. just to be clear, i didn't shood this fish, it was still alive and it picked up my bait.

the sad part is, bowfishing on this part of the river is illegal. now, i know carp can migrate over large distances, but that would mean that this fish would have to jump over dams, and swim through water under an inch deep to have come from legal bowfishing waters

ok, for real now, lets get back to up-to-date photos

Trout Streams rarely have a dam or more than one...

Your story does not match up

Must have been fishing the Vermillion where not all of its waters are trout-designated and the closest dam is in Hastings and that is a far way from the trout waters

sould've made myself more clear, i meant beaver dams.

now i know that carp could likely jump over beaver dams, but that still means that that fish would have to travel many miles to get to where i caught it, and it would have to swim past not only beaver dams, but also areas of water that are only a few inches deep or have no water at all. and on top of that, the wound was still fresh

i went on a walk by that river a couple days ago, on designated trout water, and i ran into people bowfishing. i reminded them that its illegal to bowfish in that river and that the season starts may 1st.

to tell the truth, i regret posting that pic. it was an uncalled for rant and i apologize

went out scouting for bowfishing south of town and found a huge portion of flooded grass full of carp, buffalo, and gar, it will be a slaughter fest when the season opens up.

found a culvert where the buffalo were stacked and caught these 2 on a jig sight fishing, i was suprised on how they came up and looked at the gold jig and sucked it in.

this is the only time of the year you would find me with a rod and reel for rough fish, after May 1st it will be with an arrow grin

they were C&R

Hey thanks roughfish! I have been using a super ultralight ugly stik and like 3 lb. line, and I caught a few larger than that from my honey hole, but the others somehow managed to snap the line right on shore? Probably ran into some rocks I would imagine ... lotta rocks in that area.

I was out catching tonight on the lake I live on, Lake Pepin in Le Sueur County ... man this lake is a very shallow lake, with one deeper hole. Full of carp, among other species ... but in the cold winters it will freeze out, except for the hole ... and in the spring you will find all kinds of dead fish on shore. Tonight was no exception, as I saw probably hundreds of dead carp on shore. frown Pretty sad, some of them were large ... in this photo, the bottom left corner fish was right around 15 lbs or so ...

    • 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.
