Time: Medium Difficulty: Easy Season: Spring
Ever seen a smelt drifting by your feet dead in the spring? Well, here is the pattern for that moment. Maine has some famous smelt runs in the spring and any angler fishing rivers with smelt runs in the spring need a good smelt pattern. Dead drift, swing, or strip this ragged smelt and hold on! Big brook trout won’t be able to resist!
