Was up at the cabin this past weekend clearing some trees and listening/watching for turkeys. Every lake I drove by looked like they do in February. Didn't see Yellow Lake, but I did drive by Clam, Viola and Big Sand. Nobody out there but I had a hard time convincing myself it's mid April. Heard a few gobbles but they were pretty quiet due to the crappy weather.

I was out last night as well. Caught several walleyes with a mixed bag of legal and not. For a couple hours before night fall they wouldn't stay off a jig and leech combo. Wind blown side of structure

Yeah, I was up there this weekend for one more shot at walleyes. Pretty slow for me with only one short and a few panfish. Donbo is correct. Yesterday it really took a hit. Ice had water on top and it

Well, I know it's not what you guys want to hear but after a trip up to Yellow this past weekend, I found there is still easily 30" of ice with 3" of snow give or take. I've got a funny feeling there will ice on it on opener. But with the 1 walleye limit, you might want to consider a better lake. I'll be opening the trailer that we have by the Yellow Lake Lodge the last week of April. I'll probly be fishing on opener too, but for pannies probly.

Good luck guys!

I'll just be checking it out from shore. I thought I seen on my atlas there was a canoe access on the river as well. This is my 1st year with a WI license, so I'm just gonna be spending the day, driving from spot to spot scouting out places to fish for the rest of the season.

I know the smaller lakes around the area are going to be boatable, but I am not sure of the bigger lakes. I am hoping they will be though. Could find myself trying out Yellow if she's open. Good luck guys, and make sure to report conditions as we get closer. I will do the same.....

I talked to the campground owner and as of yesterday the only ice was on the south side otherwise the majority of the lake is open. It is still very low though. They lower it around 18"-20" in the winter. They will not begin to fill until the ice is completely off though.

The owner of our campground said her son was going to go down to the south end see if the ice was actual ice or just ice crystals. I'm going up this weekend and will let ya know how I do.

Had no boat this weekend not enough water in the lake. We fished in the channel and on the little yellow side of the yellow bridge in those dead weeds and ended up with 8 crappies.

The little lake was about 3/4 of the way covered with ice and the big lake had a large patch down from silver ridge into the south bay and up to the inlet. It outta be gone by tues or wed.

Walleyes were caught out deep 20+FOW cause the water is so cold it's only 39 on surface temp. So they haven't even came in to spawn. It'll be a while before things get where they should be this of year but until the next time I'm up,

good luck

Can't say I ever saw anyone in any boat land a fish on opener. I'm surprised you found crappies shallow. I went through that channel a number of times and it looked like the dead sea.

I'd imagine things will improve dramatically once we get that temp into the mid 40s.

Three of us fished Yellow all day Saturday & Sunday. We did manage our three walleyes each day, but it was tough. Five of the fish came between 5:30 pm & 8:30 pm & one fish at 8:00 am. Two came on raps four on jigs. All the fish were caught in 4 to 8 feet of water. One male & five females. All five females were spawned out. All six fish were packed full of two to three inch perch.

On the WI DNR Yellow Lake page it still has it listed as 1 walleye.

"Walleye bag limits have change based on Tribal declaration and harvest. The following bag limits and dates now apply:

05/04/2013 - 03/31/2014: bag limit of 1"

We fished more for crappies than walleye so I couldn't tell you where and how to get 'em. Crappie we were able to get a hold of in Jeffries kept 8. I'll be up in a Alumacraft navigator 175CS black and grey. What boat do you have Don ?

      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.

      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.
