My brother said that he was checked and warned about not having a permit to fish the res part of Devils. This just happened last week. He said the permit would cost about $14.00, but the fine could be about $500 and possible loss of vehicle and equipment. I've only been on Devils a handful of times, but have never heard anything like this. Can someone elaborate? We'll be coming to fish in February.

Thanks!

MJ

It will only apply when within the reservation boundaries for example 6 mile bay you would be ok with just a ND fishing license. But if you are with in the spirit lake reservation boundaries it is true you need to have a trible license. You can contact the BIA in Fort Totten and they will be able to fill you in on the necessary details.

Thanks IFFWalleye. I'll look into it. I did some searches for maps, but they weren't the most detailed maps. We will be staying at Bluebill Cabin, which is right off of hwy 2 just before you get into Devils Lake. East Bay is where we'll be driving on the lake. Does any one know how far we have to go before we are in the reservation?

Thanks~

You do not need a tribal permit to fish any of Devils Lake! The only way you need to buy a tribal permit is if you access the lake by using a tribal road. The permit they want you to buy is not a fishing liscense it is a access permit. As long as you do not use a tribal road for access you do not need a permit.

Thanks for clearing that up Jeff. I emailed the BIA once and never got a response. I have never fished on the Reservation anyhow so I just knew I didn't need it. I am sorry my information wasn't correct.

I used to do a lot of road side fishing in the summers when i worked up there years ago on the res. I would fish on the non res part by the bridge below the casino. It would be funny watching the people from the res fish on the res side of the bridge and then they would walk across the bridge to were we were catching them and the CO would be waiting down teh road with some binoculars and get them everytime for no liscense.

      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.

      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.
