Lake Cenaiko Thread


Zenit

Recommended Posts

Well it turns out when I said the park opened at 9 I was talking about the half on side of the river that Cenaiko isn't on. It actually opens at 10 on Fridays on the side with Cenaiko. I was going to call to see if they will be opening the gates early and if so, how early but it looks like the Visitor's Center is closed Monday-Thursday. Unless somebody is able to tell me otherwise I guess I'll need to just show up at 6 if not earlier and wait for the gates to open.

As I sit at the laptop, I can see from my window,a steady stream of headlights of the cars heading to the lake (my house overlooks the dam and river area), wish I could be down there, but some of us, cannot get the day off! Would love to see, any pictures of your time on the water! Tight Lines!

JB,

It's a put and take lake, so the best fishing is that very first morning right at the start. It gets pounded really good opening morning and then both the catch rate and the fishing pressure taper off dramatically. During the week it is usually not that busy, although it's hard to tell what Monday will be like seeing that some people have the day off (MLK Day).

645 to 1030 AM today. Marked several fish in 30' water. No takers. Out of 30+ people on the lake during this period one person managed a 5" crappie. I guess I will be one of the other 500 people who arrives opening morning next year.

Was my 1st time ever out there today, 9:30 to 2:00. Only caught 1 little sunfish frown There was about 30 people out there when I got there, but by afternoon I was 1 of only about 5 people. I fished both sides of the lake from 4 to 30 ft and all I could find was a pod of tight lipped sunnies in 1 hole, and what I do believe was a trout half way down in the middle of the lake.

I realize this lake gets pounded the first weekend, but does it get fished out? Or will it just take a few days for the trout to snap out of their shell shock from all the noise and activity on opening weekend? Maybe next year I'll wait a few more days into the season.

    • 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.
