Hi gang, Dreaming about smelting already- cannot wait. Looking for help in locating a pocket seine net. Thought I would invest in one this year but not having any luck locating a source to purchase one... HELP.!! You can check with this website: duluthfishnets.com/store/seines/great-lakes-smelt-seine/I purchased a seine net here 3 years ago

Looks like more white stuff to keep the water cool. Great to see that everyone survived from last season.

I've heard about Ashland, but where about do people go? Asking for a friend😁 Very little public space and depends where you are its a rocky mess plan on getting there early a.m to even have a chance at a spot if you're on public land.. most end up by the power plant or the park right in town

Well folks, this cool spring just keeps dragging along! I'm hopeful that we might turn the corner shortly! A few good things that are shaping up this year. A lot of precip has fallen up north this year. So the rivers should be flowing nicely because of this. That always helps out the river run for the dippers. Also, a late run is an intense run! So there shouldn't be any girl thingy footen around by them finicky fish this year!

Look like there will be some big waves tonight and hoping these waves will crack the ice a bit and hopefully warmer temp and warmer water will melt all the ice ….my guess 1st and 2nd week of May …

Some of the boys got them with umbrella nets on the end of the canal last weekend. So they are out there getting ready to come in! Thunderstorms Saturday will help, but the temps still look terrible. I'd guess May 14 might be the best weekend run.

Well guys, I'm starting to get a twitch every once in a while....seems that I may need to get my smelt fix in soon! Lol!
Oldstar, I know that umbrellas are your thing...keep us posted. I would be guessing as soon as that ice is clear... there should be a little action soon afterwards. Has anyone heard anything from Ashland yet?

Oh my!!! I just looked at the Solglimt beach cam....ice is gone, looks like a little on the beach, but the breakers rolling in all the way to the sand! Great news people!
Might be time for some real sampling to begin!

A few days ago, my friends were checking the Lester. The water temp was 33.8 which is way too cold yet. And she was running fast and muddy...also no good.
However, I did hear a report from Facebook that somewhere on park point someone got a few dozen Friday evening. Looks like they might be starting to trickle in!!!!!
