Well I wasn't planning on fishing today but the nice weather convinced me. I fished the south branch of whitewater and it was the first time I have fished that branch. There were a few other people out fishing today but still plenty of room. I ended up catching 5 fish and probably walked a couple of miles. It always seems like a long walk back to the car. Probably because I keep wanting to see what is around the next bend. smile.gif The river looked to be in good shape. It was low enough and relatively clear. The only problem I noticed was all the trash! Everywhere I looked there was garbage on the stream bank. I must have picked up 6 pop cans and plenty of other misc. junk. I could have filled up several garbage bags full but didn't have any bags with. It makes me so mad! The other problem I noticed was the stream bank erosion. People need to keep in mind that the streams banks are very vulnerable right now. Try to stay away from the edge if possilble. Here are a few pics from my outing. The first two are nice sized browns that I caught. And the third pic shows some of the streamside erosion.

That is one nice Brown there. I had the same situation, didn't plan on fishing, but ended up hitting the stream Sat. morning. Must of caught the tail end of the feeding, ended up with 17 for a total. What a fun day! Nothing to brag about, but had a great time!! laugh.gif Had a few nice ones that would have been bragable, but couldn't coax them into a solid hit....The minute that sun burned off the morning fog, is when it seemed to shutdown. I was till able to pull a few out on the way back to the car, but nothing like earlier in the morning. It was just plain great to be out, should have went yesterday too. That is too bad about all that trash, glad to hear your tried picking up some of it. I came back with 3 pop cans and a reel that was busted. Why can't people take their trash out??

      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.
