What lake is this?

Lake bellaire I’d guess

Otsego lake?

Great. There goes the fishing in that lake. It took years for it to come back the last time the word got out the smelt were there. Buc you are ridiculous telling people about small lakes that can't handle the fishing pressure. Facebook ruins many lakes every year because of posts like this.

Isn’t that lake like less than 200 acres? How about not naming small water.

Here it comes, the parking lot is going to be full tonight! Smfh

That lake will not have any smelt left in it now and won't be able to handle all the pressure. Why even post this I agree buck should stop telling everyone about the lakes I have seen many lakes ruined by this

Lakes like this shouldnt be named

Rick Wojtkowiak oh God another one of you guys 🤣 but yet here you are on a page that gives info on ice and fishing reports…. I bet locals on the lakes you travel to fish from this page think the same thing about you

You can easily look up any lake that has smelt on the DNR page

I love them breaded deep fried and dipped in Hoffmann house cocktail sauce!

Fife lake has the best smelt

Hell yeah! Safe ice and smelt! We are heading your way! Been struggling down hear for ice can’t wait to meet you guys! Bringing the whole camp!

Hell yeah. Imma share this in all the fishing groups on here. Bout to be a party out there! See you guys tonight!!

It is a fishing “report” page for you people crying

They're great to catch down here in Barry county when Gull Lake ever freezes.

Awesome hack ya that's awesome yummy eats there

Only good for dozen and that’s on the first outings then there scarce. Just a tease for first ice

Why waste your time when green lakes 🔥

How long are them smelt look pretty small to catch on a pole. Just curious 🧐

Twin lakes of lewiston?

Never ate em.not much here in southern Illinois

Oh no it’s the end of the world!

Thank you for the report and helping people stay interested in fishing!

Omg the crybabies on this post

Is this early run? I remember Rifle River in Omar where u could catch by the garbage cans.

Smelt on
