Re: Smelt report ???
So far all that has happened is a small pilot Run. Does having a pilot run necessarily mean that there will be a follow up main run for sure? Afterall, some years the smelt simply don't show.

Re: Smelt report ???
I always keep a back-up 10 or 12 packs, just in case.

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">I guess i'm #2 to blame, beacuse like HC, i'm all ready to dip for my first year too. :depressed: I have faith though....they'll be here. They just had to make a pit stop for all the females at the "powder room" and they're just running a little late :grin:

Re: Smelt report ???
I honestly think that the run we had a few weeks back, is all we are getting.... :whazzup: We are entering march, and there is nothing there now. I am just very thankfull i got over there and got my 100 pounds when i did. I guess its just a waiting game.... But i dont think its gonna happen

Have faith!
They'll be here!
As that report I posted after talking to the biologist said; sometimes they don't materialize untill March.

Re: Smelt report ???
I was doing an inventory on my remaining smelt in the freezer. Came across a couple of packages on the bottom dated March 16th, 2002 from the Cowlitz. Still have plenty of time for them to show.

Re: Smelt report ???
That's it. I also bought a net and planned to make a go of it for the first time this year.
No doubt about it, too many newbees scared 'em off.

Re: Smelt report ???
Hey thanks brshooter, that's the best news I've heard on the smelt running in the cowlitz. I've been carrying my net & waders in the truck for almost 2 weeks now, just waiting, & hoping there will be news of them running again. Thanks man, I now have renewed hope.
