Check out bear pond in waterford. Not to far from you. I used to get my first smelts of the year there. It's a really early run. I heard through the grape vine it might be worth heading there. To far for me these days though.

There were 20 ice shacks on Bear pond this winter, and all were doing well on smelts, I would expect that smelting
would be pretty good this spring.  Any tribs to Keoka are closed though.
