That's cool. Hope they grow up to be as big as the ones Joe put me on this past hardwater season...never caught smelt like them...Master Angler sized!
Rick.. hows the summer been? the smelt that were caught last year were first year run smelt, thats why they were so big
.. i am sure they will be some big ones caught next year but maybe not as many, you should start to see a cycle of about every four years of bigger smelt being caught. Its good to hear that the smelt are reproducing and i hope see a Healthy population for years to come.
