Did a lot of smelt fishing with my dad when I was a kid. Try Spanish Banks or West Vancouver. I find an evening high tide is productive for me.

Make sure it's high tide.... Preferably as the sun is going down...

Keep the net clean.  Ambleside is great or 3rd beach

A fishery notice came out yesterday regarding smelt fishing regulation updates, so please take a look at it before you head out to try it out.
