Looking back on the 2011 season's image bank we came across this shot. Smelt runs are super fun to fish and experience. Throwing large floating smelt patterns with a spey rod for landlocked salmon remains one of the most anticipated events.
The floating smelt collection is very low right now. Time to start the experiment at the skunk works man cave.
They are a wonderful fish.
ReplyDeleteThey are quite tasty.
And they provide endless patterns.
I sure agree with Allan, they do provide endless patterns! And they're fun to tie...and even better, they sure fool fish! Great post as usual, Todd.
ReplyDeleteAllan & Gary, I've been thinking about what you've said about the endless patterns available for smelts. I'm going to try to keep it down to five patterns next season. Floating, dead and active. That should cover it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking in.
