Smelt Running

(1/5) > >>

8orach:
Smelts running anywhere in the state yet? Family said they were starting to hear the peepers down by the house in Cumberland county towards the end of last week. Things have cooled down and weather has been crappy since so very curious. Haven't heard any yet in the Orono and most rivers are blown out and going to be for awhile. Hoping to be able to fish Grand Lake Stream one time before schools over and be there during the run.

rdhammah:
how many thousands of smelt are taken during the spring run? this contributes to the decline of the smelt population that the fisheries management people have been studying over the past 10+ years

woodchip:
To much run off it will be a week or more . there is too much sludge  in the brooks and streams.

robbfishing:
Yeah because we just started smelting recently 🙄 the ifw keeps a close eye on smelt populations ....

woodchip:
AS far as I know .there is no open smelting in Maine in the spring.
