NEW LAWS – LD 723 You may want to look this up at http://janus.state.me.us to get all of the info. On this LD.

1) a person holding a valid maine fishing license may not keep more then 5 dozen smelts alive as part of that person’s daily bag limit.
8) A holder of a smelt whoesale license can not take smelts,unless the holder has and uses a operable commercially manufactured number 14 fish grader. This also go for handliner, who take smelts .

There are 5 pages of this info on the new laws, so you may want to look this up. We will try to have it on our site also. I also e-mailed John Boland, and asked about the grader, I asked if each license dealer has to have a grader or can 2 or 3 guys share one? He said NO Problem as long as the handliners are fishing together or in very close proximity. John Boland, Monday July 18 2005 at 8:47 pm.
