Will be up there this weekend wondering if I will be able to walk out near the south landing and get some fishing in?

Posted

real good ice from the west landing. Was over 10" as of Sunday afternoon.

I have heard that 2 four wheelers have went through in the last week on Reno. Thanksgiving morning I drove by the lake and there was a big area of steaming out in the middle of the lake. I would have to say that would mean there was open water. Be careful out there!

Wow thanks for the heads-up. I got sick and never did get out...be back up in two weeks.

I was up there the weekend of thanksgiving and pulled a 16' yeti wheel house out with the wheeler from a private access on the other side if the lake. there was 10" of good ice out there. The open water was by the island that is always the last to freeze. There were people pulling single axel ice castles out with 1/2 ton trucks by the public access.

Reno has an Island? Where is that?

Posted

I guess its not really an island that's just what my brother in law calls it. its just a shallow spot with emerging vegetation that takes a little longer to freeze. I guess its really more like a hump.

Hows the fishing on Reno lately?

Posted

Any recent updates on ice conditions?? Think of bringing the house up this weekend on the east side

Posted

Looks like about 10" of ice, felt soft when drilling yesterday. 4-wheelers were cruising the lake. Saw a small car out in the bay on the north side off of 15...would not recommend that!

Any recent ice reports?

Posted

With the 3" of water on top of the ice last week I was expecting really poor conditions. But it seems in pretty good shape with a few areas where the top layer is peeling off but not in a way that inhibits mobility. Seems about a consistent foot of ice. Lots of wheelers everywhere no cars on the ice that I saw.

Does anyone know what kind of condition the access is in. Heard it was pretty rough

      Those flooding problems are a sign of your needle and seat are leaking.  If the needle has a ring around the tip you can clean it if it's brass. If it has a black rubber tip then it needs to be replaced. You can clean the needle and seat with things like rubbing compound or even toothpaste I use a product called Semi chrome. It for polishing die pins. Just clean them up after polishing.

      All of those Polaris sleds from that era were notorious for flooding and leaking. I've still got a 2003 XCSP 600 Edge that my daughter rides. As you noted, you need to shut off the fuel in those situations.

      Yes, but it could make for an amazing walleye opener.

      How old is your belt?   My old Polaris 4 wheeler with belt drive was bogging at mid range to top end last year.  Changed the belt and that problem went away.

      Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases.   Primary is significantly worn.  I replaced several rollers and pins which helped.  I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install.   It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting.  Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches.  Thanks for the ideas.

      Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his.  This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances.

      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?
