Something else needs to be said about Walker. Because he is truly awesome. He came down and helped out, pulled a big seine, helped fill a cooler, shared a great spot, and out of 28 gallons of smelt, all he wanted was 2 gallons. I guess a couple beers go a long way. So any of you out there that I'm sharing this bounty with, give all the credit to Walker. Because without him last night, you probably would be out of luck!

I know 3 years ago someone posted they were running, got up there and they hadn't started yet.
I see the chamber page now says that they have started, but the ice is still a problem.
how do you use a seign net from a boat ?

I haven't heard much on the rivers yet. I know we hit it really good a couple days ago, so I kind a expect things to get hot moving up the shore!
This week end could be great. And I too expect the Point to continue to produce for at a few days. Who knows, maybe a lot longer.
As for the DNR being shocked, that nothing new. They are always late to the party. Their online update said the rivers are still way too cold, but did report that people have had some success at the Point and in the rivers. One of these years they might figure out that the temp needed to start the spawning process is a lot cooler than they think!
Good luck everyone, and please keep posting. I'm sure there is someone still seeking a smelt or two!

People pulling in on average 5 smelt. Waves are pretty good size. We're right by solglimt. We haven't gone in yet. Waiting still for a run.
