(1/5) > >>

legend:
i grew up in poultney and dip netted smelt in pencil mill brook around the last saturday in april. does this still happen any more ?

Fish Farmer:
Dip netting smelt has been illegal for quite sometime in Vermont.

Light liner:
Yes.
Thats why the smelt population has plummeted. State wont do a thing about it.

ice fiend:
Illegal go to nys to do it

Champlain Islander:
Did it in a river off Lake George many years ago. I thought it was illegal now but I guess not. It was pretty easy to fill a gallon bucket which was the limit as I remember.   We went to a spot in the river with a small wire basket taped to a pole and scooped them up as they ran the river. Prime spots were around boulders and bends in the brook.
