Rod Caster Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I checked the river about 4 times this year, 2 of those times the fish were running pretty good. It was a later start this year, but not off by that much. These photos were from last week. Nipfisher focusing hard on the shiny fish Part of the catch!! I only kept about 100 fish this year.... 25 for bait, 25 already eaten and the rest will get shared with family. I've learned that I don't like frozen smelt all that much and there is no point in wasting. For all the effort I put into smelting, it's more about the experience than the numbers.
