Rush creek will be fishable by now, not sure about the south branch of the root though. They really got hammered last thur night/friday. Anyone get a look at the south branch this last weekend?

Did any of you get down to the Rush this weekend? Girlfriend and I went yesterday and it was fantastic. They were very agressive, I was not fly fishing just using a favorite P.M. of mine. Stream was running very clear, but it was great fishing! smile.gif

Since Chicago Boy asked about the South Branch of the root (I assume the one in MN since that's the only one I know of) I also assumed they meant Rush CREEK in MN. Sounds like some people might be talking about the Rush RIVER in WI. I feel safe in saying that Rush creek in MN is clear enough to fish right now. I think maybe the others were giving a report on the Rush river.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Fish_Hunter,

Glad to hear you had some success on the Rush. I wasn't sure how the local streams would be after that rain, so I went down to Iowa on Saturday. Caught a chunky 16 inch rainbow that had some very good color. Water conditions were fast and dark until we got to about Decorah. We fished just southwest of Decorah and the water was perfect.

Well, that is awesome, good to hear you had some luck as well. Sandi has been itcing to get out and it was a perfect day she caught her first trout on a spinner. Trying to break her from worming it all the time... ha ha I think it worked!! grin.gif I was really impressed with how the water looked, we fished some new areas on it as well as some old spots!! All in all a great day to be outside!! I used to go down to Iowa a few years back an fish, they do have an excellent program down there as well!! Just think Trout season is just getting underway!!! I have enjoyed the great success through the C & R though, I typically do that all year anyway, it just opens more streams for us to fish now!!

It was still kind of tough to find fishable water on Monday, but there are plenty of smaller streams that are running clear to tea-stained. I had a great day on the water, with active insects and comfortable temps. First sunburn of the year, too. blush.gif

Depending on what happens with rain this Tuesday evening, the bigger waters should be in much better shape by this weekend.

    • 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.
