That's the first positive note I heard for smelt at Port Renfrew this year. Good to hear that they did show up at least once earlier in the season. I only fished it once this summer, our group had 4 nets out all day long ebb/flood, skunked not even one stray smelt! I had many friends who fished it all summer long.. every body was getting skunked... When did that first run show up, April/May/June? Defiantly not like it once was years ago! Used to spin cast off the beach while the nets were out, used to catch Skate, Coho, Springs, Huge perch! at night Monster Dog fish/shark to 35lbs! Last few years I tried spin casting like I all ways have.. can't even catch a small Perch there any more!!! Good to hear the smelt showed up at least once early in the season, but that's just a small fraction of what that run should be! Looking at the big pictures its pretty distressful what is happening to our fish stocks.
