Fishing

• 1). Determine where the best place is to catch smelt in Maine. Lakes tend to be the most common place to fish for smelt.
  
  
• 2). Find a suitable place on the ice to rest your ice shanty. Light a wood fire inside to provide heat.
  
  
• 3). Using the holes in the floor of the ice shanty as guides, cut through the ice using your chainsaw.
  
  
• 4). Cut up the sand worms and bait each fly or jig. Set up your poles and drop the lines down. Place your catch in a bucket of water to keep the smelt fresh.
