River water temps? Smelt runs?

Does anyone know the temps of the below listed rivers presently? OR anyone have any ideas when the smelt runs will happen this year? This year has been a little different (temps), it's hard to tell from here in Southern Maine!

Magalloway
Rangeley River
Upper Dam at Richardson
Moosehead Lake, East outlet

Thanks!

Any information will be greatly appreciated!

Re: River water temps? Smelt runs?

The rivers have just opened up in the past few days and we can't even get to the banks of the rivers yet as there is still too much snow. Look forward to smelts to start in our area probably 2nd week in April, but only in 1 or2 streams.

Thank you for the reply Ray, I appreciate it!
Darn that snow! I keep thinking it's green up there because it's so green down here (Lebanon, Me). Definately not a typical winter.

Thanks again,
Kim
