there are no smelt in wisconsin rivers, or especially in lake superior. Dont waste your time, however if I should find some, I'll be more than happy to sell you them!
j/k
we use a 30 ft saine in lake superior, kinda excited for this year, my nieghbor gave me his dip net so now I can just set up on the dock and dip the net in. No more wader swimming for me!
