Coronet Bay Smelt Fishing

The smelt jigging at Coronet Bay State Park has been quite good recently, with many of our customers catching their 10 pound limit. Most everyone are jigging size 4 or 5 Gamakatsu Smetlt/Herring Jigs with the silver hooks and white fish skin wing. Make sure to get some smelt feed to attract them into your fishing area. By feeding you will keep the schools of smelt in the immediate area rather than have them passing through and you being able to just catch a few as they pass by.

This fishery should continue on through the winter and provide lots of good fishing fun for the family as well as provide some great table fare.

Don't forget to get your "Discover Pass" before you go - we have heard that a lot of tickets were being issued to vehicles that did not have them displayed.
