 Lake Superior Smelt Fishing Reports

Duluth MN  and Ashland WI

Lake Superior smelt fishing has been a tradition for many years now. The rainbow smelt is not native to the Great Lakes. It migrated from the sea, as many other species did when the lakes were opened to ocean going ships.

The Smelt run reached it's peek in the 60's and has been on the decline ever since. At one time you could easily fill a pickup truck in a few hours of dipping. Now, of course it's a different story. You can still catch good numbers but the timing has to be right. With the technical advance of computers and the internet we can improve our changes of being at the right place at the right time. So, join our forum, and post your reports, good or bad, so we can all increase our chances for tasty smelt fry dinners.
