Smelt Fishing Season Around the Corner
It will soon be time tor the
smelt fishing season again. A
time when the hardy fishermen
and some not so hardy grab their
lights, rubber boots, and nets
to head out for this silvery
coloured little fish known as
smelt.
The smelt is a very palatable
fish and is considered a delicacy
by many. They usually appear
in large numbers in shallow
beach areas or stream mouths
where they come each sprint
to spawn. The spawning period
is usually in lnid-Aril with
some variation in time depend-
ing on the type of spring we
have.
An early spring for example,
would probably mean an earlier
run of smelt since water temp-
eratures and other factors af-
ffecting
fectingthe time of the run
would be altered.

was introduced in Ontario and
became effective on January 1,
1969. This licence is required
by all resident males 19 years
of age or older for the taking of
fish from Ontario waters whether
it be by angling or by means
other than anghng. Last Year
there appeared to be some con-
fusion concerning the licence
requirements for the taking of
smelt. To eliminate such
confusion in the 1970 season,
the requirements are as follows:
Smelt may be taken under
the authority of a $3.00 resident
angling licence or a $1.00 res-
ident licence to take smelt for
personal use. Male residents,
nineteen years of age or over
require at least on of these
licences to take smelt.
All persons, regardless of
sex or age, who wish to operate
Thieves Steal'
Articles From
Hensall Hardware
Thieves broke into the Drys-
dale Crest Hardware, Hensall,
sometime over the past week-
end and stole a number of guns,
a radio, a razor and an undeter-
mined amount of cash from a
drawer.
The robbers forced entry into
the building by smashing the
rear door. The break-in was
discoverd by employees Harold
Knight and John Henderson,
when they arrived for work on
Monday morning. One of the
owners, Robert J. Drysdale, is
at present on vacation in Spain.
Police from the Exeter detach-
ment of the 0. P.P., along with
fingerprint experts from Mt.
Forest, are investigating the
robbery.
a seine net for the taking of
smelt, must have the $1.00
smelt licence, and there is no
minimum age restriction. Each
adult male assisting in the op-
eration of a seine net must have
the $1.00 smelt licence or a
$3, 00 resident angling licence,
Under the $3,00 licence,
smelt may be taken with a dip
net rio larger than 6 ft. by 6 ft.
The $1.00 smelt licence permits
the holder to use a dip net
no larger that 6 ft. by 6 ft. or a
seine net no greater than 30 ft.
by 6 ft.
Smelt may be taken by non-
residents with a dip net (6 ft.
by 6 ft. maximum) or a seine
net (30 ft. by 6 ft. maximum)
under the authority of a $5.00
non-resident licence to take
fish by means other than angling.
All participants must be licenced
and there is no minimum age
restriction on this licence,
The smelt is the only fish
species other than bait fish
which can legally be taken at
night from Ontario waters by
means other than angling
Smelt fishing has not been
particularly good in some parts
of Lake Huron forest district,
This fishery is confined to the
Great Lakes and the mouths of
streams tributary to these lakes.
The Hamilton Bay area of Lake
Ontario was quite good for smelt
in the spring of 1969. - Lake Hur-
on was fair from the Bayfield
area to Port Albert while the
smelt fishing in Georgian Bay
was poor.
It is quite possible that young
Coho Salmon, a silvery colored
fish that resembles small rain-
bow trout, will be captured in
smelt nets particularly in Lake
Ontario and its tributaries.
The co-operation of fishermen
are asked to return these small
5 and 6 inch salmon to the
waters so theymay return as
adult fish in uture years.
