hewhoeatslamprey 3 Report post Posted April 15 People went on Saturday night and said it was too early, will take a look early this week. Also Zach, hilarious joke! Only issue with it is according to Oxford "run: (of a migratory fish) go upriver from the sea in order to spawn". Now the real question is if smelt walk? 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PajamaSquirrel 20 Report post Posted Saturday at 02:07 PM Our crew went to the MacKenzie River last night and dipped our nets for 2 hours between 10:30 and 12:30 or so. Total of about 4 dozen smelts was disappointing. Really slow - more of an ambling walk than a smelt run. 🙂 On our way back into town we swung by the Current River for a look see. We had seen pics on Facebook of full buckets taken from there last weekend. We were in luck last night as the run was still on! People were coming and going pretty quickly. In about 20 minutes we half filled our 5-gallon pail and the "just one more scoop" vs "you have to clean those you know" discussion was on. If you are thinking of going, the time is now. Cheers. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peel the skin off and nibble the choice bits off like a tiny ear of corn... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
