Well I had frosted flakes! Itttssssssssss Grrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaaaaaatttttttt! How do you catch smelts? Where do they live? What bait/lures do you use? How small are the hooks?

[FishingNoob]

you catch them with a dip net 6' X 6' no bait, no lure, no hooks the shore line of Lake Simcoe is dotted with smelt fishermen at ice out every year for about a week or two

Thanks for the reply!

We should all be eating more of the small fish like this. Much healthier than the 20lb salmon they cut up and package in the grocery strore.

The east coast has a great recreational fishery, know doubt with many species. I still daydream of the brook trout I caught as a kid. If I or the generation who taught me to fish were only wise enough to harvest the odd perch.... they are viewed as a pest by many east coast folk.

Not my experience having lived there for three years...

In any event I was speaking about the fishery writ large...ironic how paltry the selection at the fish markets are...

totally agree with this. this year i ate perch from simcoe and its an amazing eat. would have never known.

Are you guys crazy? lol

In NW Ontario, first choice of eats is crappie, followed by perch, then walleye.

If your not eating perch, your really missing out.

That plate of food looks like a killer good breakfast BTW!

Indeed. I was born and raised the first 25 years in NB. I have great memories of fishing in NB.

I remember the first time I caught a perch in Ontario and threw it back in the water. My future brother-in-law (at the time) was surprised by my reaction. When I shared the funny story with his sister afterwards, we went for a perch dinner about a week later. I found two new loves. LOL
