Hey all,

I'm going down fishing in houston county tomorrow, just wondering if anybody had been fishing any of the streams down there and could give a general action report (or share any sweet new spots I can check out, hah ;\) )

Maybe wander into a few morels too... hopefully they'll be popping soon

I haven't talked to anyone who's fished HoCo lately, but I'm sure conditions there aren't too different from everywhere else where fishing has varied from day to day. We've had consistent rain so water conditions have been up and down all spring.

Let us know how you do! \:\)

Report from today:

looked for morels with my buddy until 2, then hit the stream. He'd never been trout fishing before - ever - but we did really well. about 30 rainbows and 5 or 6 browns in 3 hours of fishing. Had 2 rainbows landed that were 14 inches, broke off one that went 16 or so. Also caught several chunky white suckers. I was using an UL rod I just built, with 2 lb test. Lots of fun but man sure was tough keeping them outta the snags.

Couldn't believe how much the creek had changed since the flood... huge deep pools where there had been nice slow runs, and super steep gradient in places where there'd been riffles. Seemed to improve the area I fished in any case

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
