Haven't looked in a couple weeks, but there was easily 30" of ice a couple weeks ago when we were out. I'm gonna be out and about tomorrow, and will report back...but I imagine it will be at least a week or two yet.

On Saturday afternoon, the James River was open; a few of the small sloughs and swamps were open; but any body of water of any size still had ice on it. It was some mighty gray, soft looking ice...but ice nonetheless. Not sure how this snow is going to affect it...we got a lot. It is a heavy, wet snow...it could put a lot of pressure on the ice, could insulate it...

It's getting close to my annual pilgrimage to SD for some muskie fishing, The lakes in east central MN are showing sighs of opening up in the next few days. How are the lakes in that area doing ? Thanks for any info.

Wow that surprises me, The long range weather for Easter weekend is looking like a warming trend, and I was hoping to get over there then. I guess I will have to wait and see if the ice is gone by then.

Thanks for the info cold one.

I was reading more posts yesterday and a guy was at Waubay last Saturday ne he said there was a little open water east of Grenville where the culverts go under the road. He went ice fishing and said there was 18" to 24" at that time.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery 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.

      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.
