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".

Do you know Will. We have been friends for about 40 years and fish together as much as possible...don't see him as often since he moved about 35 miles east of Lancaster to Pavilion, NY.
