Hi Rick
This time last year i was just back from fishing in Alaska.
With all the hot weather and less than average fishing i'm wishing i was there!
Maybe to ease the pain, How about a great addition too an already great site with an Alaska specific forum?

What do you think?

Thanks for the consideration!

If you're reading this post, you're from Alaska and would like to have an Alaska forum, post here.

Then if you'd like to help with that forum, use the "Contact Us" link below and let me know a little about yourself and how you can help.

If I get enough responses, I'll do it.

I sure hope folks from Alaska jump on this and something gets started.

Alaska has to be the closest thing to "fishing heaven" as there is on this planet. There are multiple saltwater opportunities, streams and rivers to wade, paddle and float, inland lakes, mountain lakes, not to mention scenery that doesn't quit and variety to accomodate most every outdoors person's taste.

If you haven't been there, it ought to be the goal of every one who loves to fish. I had very high expectations and it exceeded them all. If you want to wet your appetite a little, there are several informative on-line links including the Anchorage and Fairbanks daily papers, Alaska Magazine and the Alaska Game & Fish Department for starters.

Let's hear from The Great Land.

I am not from there, but I think it would be a great addition, because most guys would love to go there and it would be a great source of information. I am planning on going to college in Fairbanks to. I think if there is enough interest it would be a great idea. that's my .02

I agree there is plenty of interest in an Alaskan forum from the folks down here, but in order to make it a productive and informative forum we need the interest, frequent participation, and input from folks residing in Alaska.

FM member Alaskander has alot of good input from up there, but I'm not sure if he has access to the web when he's up there. If you're out there buddy give us a hollar!

Good fishing,

I agree fully with the suggestion that there be an Alaska forum. None of us get there as much as we like but many of us have fished and enjoy hearing about the runs, places techniques etc. It would be great to get some folks living in Alaska year round on the site but would be some good discussion from just the vacation crowd on an Alaska forum. I am all for it and would check in frequently and when fishing in Alaska post results frequently. Lets do this.

I agree that it would be great to have an Alaska forum. Would be fun reading and could learn about runs, spots and techniques not to mention best outfitters and places to stay and those to avoid. I think many local lower 48 folks would read and respond as there vacations take them there and would be critical to get some local AK involvement. I hope this can happen.

      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

      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.

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.
