When should I look for the smelts to start running.Or maybe I missed it. April 19th

I was also wondering about the smelt run.  Does any one know where and when I should go.  I've never been and want to give it a shot.

JD Check you laws as some waters are closed to dipping. Also my research has told me smelts in mid maine run between now and mid may. A few had been caught around elsworth last week. I understand they run for a couple of weeks once they start. hope this was helpfull.  glatt               

I'll definately do some research and try and find some info.  I go to college up here at UMaine Orono and will be working up here this summer.  Hopefully before I start work I'll try to find some smelt and it wouldn't be hard to get to ellsworth.  Tnks man
