Like perch fishing need a light or sensitive rod. I use spring bobber. A lot of people forget that Smelt season is march 1 - may 31:). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fourseasonsangling 6 Report post Posted February 12, 2023 I don’t have the time with work and I’m wanting to head to Jessie lake when I’m back from my next rotation figured it would be easier to grab a bag off someone if they had extra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's illegal to sell bait unless you have a bait dealer's license. 1 Quote I'm going out to fish. - John 21:3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishog 215 Report post Posted February 13, 2023 The correct wording would be the super store I have seen bags of frozen smelts there from time to time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fourseasonsangling 6 Report post Posted February 14, 2023 Thanks for the responses, a donation for x would be greatly appreciated, I will check out superstore! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zackcorbin1401 542 Report post Posted February 14, 2023 Dnr had or still has herring , not super sized ones either they were slightly bigger than smelts and work well. I have no clue what I was going this spring but i wasn’t catching smelts… so I got none either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishog 215 Report post Posted February 14, 2023 I know at one time the Super Store had them in the frozen section, at least that is what they looked like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Y 2 Report post Posted February 15, 2023 What are the restrictions for using smelt for bait in our zone? My understanding is they aren't allowed everywhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is some exceptions to that… Dead Rainbow Smelt may be used as bait or possessed for use as bait - see waterbody exceptions Jessie Lake Lake Helen Lake Nipigon Polly Lake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
