brookiebuster 117 Report post Posted May 1, 2018 Not worth it unless you want to sit in a ice bath for 2 hours to get a dozen smelts, if so have at it. Going to need more rain to warm things up.

BigFisher92 1 Report post Posted May 4, 2018 Just got back 10 minutes ago, was out for an hour and a half but barely got any. Very slow, I got about 1-4 per scoop on average. Sometimes none. Down p.a. Tried a couple of rivers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James01 223 Report post Posted May 4, 2018 My experience was much like JohnZ's last night at current river. We filled our bucket in 40 minutes, probably 50lbs of smelts. I never had a scoop without at least 2 or 3 smelt in it... the better scoops had 2 or 3 dozen.
