better read the rules. SMELT must be netted,I believe. JJJJJJIm w.
Or caught by hook and line!!
so if i put 2 bait traps in a tributary for shiners and caught smelt would a warden get me for that?
Its legal as long as you say your trapping shinners. But I dont know if you could still keep the smelts legally?
I've caught pounds of them in my fyke net as by-catch,had to release them.
i saw one of them in my gramps fav smelting spot. he sent me down in the day to try for some brookies an di saw it. i radio'd up to him letting him know it was there and then somehow the next day it was mysteriously gone......
Did you just rat out poor ole Grandpaw?
