So, I live in the cities, and want to go trout streamin', but I'm sick of fishing Hay creek... any cool rivers, or streams that I could wade in, and have a hope of catching a trophy, or that there of? I don't mind driving a little more, but the book from the DNR is good help to show where trout streams, but i tried once to check out some of the other streams listed in the book, but they are all so small, and shallow, and... well, is there anywhere around that I could feel a little more confidence in a chance of getting some bigger trout?

Whitewater River, Beaver Creek, Root River, 3 larger bodies of water that come to mind. One thing to do is check out the stream on google earth with the trout guide as a reference. That'll give you a better handle on what you can expect

The little cannon river is a decent one to fish pretty much all over. One day i went fishing on a section that does not get fished heavily at all an caught 7 browns smallest one was 17 inches and the biggest was 24 inches awesome day of fishing. I also got a bunch of chubs.

Ever considered western Wisconsin? Shell out an out of state license but I think it is worth it. Pretty hard to beat the Kinni and Rush. Both have high numbers of trout and are more substantial rivers in comparison to Hay. You can get to Glen Park and fish lower Kinni in 30 minutes from the TCs.

I have fished Little Cannon. Ended up catching more chubs than trout. Plus it is incredibly silty, like quick sand in places. Not as pristine of a stream in comparison and imagine it dirties up easily after rain.

BTW, what kind of fish are you holding?

best thing you can do is get trout map book from DNR or use their HSOforum. Not as easy as on paper but definetly will help you explore and get some great ideas.

DNR trout maps + google earth.. it'll help you out a lot!

      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.
