DIPPING AT DUSK: Tyler Cote, of Monmouth, jigs for smelts within a shack at Baker's Smelt Camps in Pittston Saturday evening as other anglers walk to their shacks on the Kennebec River. Most anglers caught a smelt or two as the tide turned. The smelt season should continue, with heavy ice on the river, through March.

ROLLING ON THE RIVER: Children roll snowballs recently on the Kennebec River before a cluster of smelt shacks. The wet, sticky snow made for excellent snowman conditions.
