Billy Bob Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 April is usually the month for the spring smelt run.....The Niagara Rivers Association usually has a smelt fry as a fund raiser on the Lewiston Landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaque Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Yeah, i hear of it every year, but have never been. They probably wont have it this year however based on what Philly has uncovered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the upper hasnt been affected. I read this in the Buffalo News today so I thought I would pass on this info. "Anglers have found rainbow smelt in the craws of trout caught during the past two to three weeks, but night-shift smelt dippers have yet to fill a net. Regulars read the water at 35-36 degrees right now. Generally, smelt move closer to shore when the gauges rise to 38-39 degrees". http://www.buffalonews.com/2010/03/23/997166/fishing-line-by-will-elliott.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
