Anyone else going to get out trout fishing this weekend for the catch and release opener? I am going to try to get out and fly fish in the coulee region, not sure what to expect with snow and ice on some of the small streams. it is also supposed to get pretty warm on saturday i believe so there might be some high water.

It might tough this year to get to open water. I check out a few deep pools last weekend and they were frozen. Hopefully today the sun comes out and melts off some snow to raise water levels.

Last year the high temp was about 20, not fun.

I don't fish the kinnie that often any more, maybe once or twice a year. But when I lived closer to the area I fished it quite often. I've actually fish the rush a little more because I've always had better luck finding larger fish.

i caught a few small browns on saturday. there was just enough wind to make it difficult to fish the smaller streams that i was fishing. still good to get out and spend some time on the stream. caught the fish on beadhead nymphs. 50 degree weather today might make the streams interesting next week.

Very difficult conditions on Saturday: cold, ice and changing sky make for tough going. Still, it was fun to get out and fish, partner and I pulled up some decent browns.

Waiting until spring!

Most of the water I wanted to fish was still iced up. Found some open water upstream but had little luck. The water was as low and clear as I've seen it and giant iceburgs were clogging up the river pretty good. I'll probably give it a week until I try it again.

The Rush produced fish both sat. and sunday, despite being icy, windy and ultra clear... Watch the shelf Ice if anyone ventures out this week... not worth taking a bath in the 38 degree water...

#16 broze pheasant tails were top producer for me... Good luck all and stay safe

fishing is starting to pick up as the temperatures rise. i have been catching a lot of nice fish on small beadhead nymphs. not many fish on the surface yet, i guess we havent had a solid week of warm weather to get a good hatch going. the water is still pretty clear in most streams so try to find some deep/fast runs to help camouflage yourself from the fish. how has everyone else been doing?

Fishing has been great in western SW WI. Rivers are in perfect shape as of last weekend. Pt's were working, drifting up and across. Nothing big yet but still fun to get out and enjoy the driftless. Small hatches with would trigger a sipping rise.

      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.
