tnt Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I have checked around and all I can find is smelt that have been gutted/be-headed. Does anyone know where I can score some smelt with heads in the Niagara area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Houtby Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 The smelts are starting to show up in the lower Grand River now if you want to catch some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dara Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Around here we find them in the rivers in the spring time..heads, tails, innards,,,and they are even alive. A guy told me its illegal to sell whole smelts as bait...this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinger Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 yeah as Dara said, I get a year's worth of smelt for free every spring. You just gotta go stand in a river for a while. Its iffy about the sale of smelt as bait because some places it;s ok to use as bait and in other places it's illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
