Residents may take smelts in a dip -net up to six feet by six feet without a li- cence during March, April and May at any time of day or night, except in certain waters, Lands and Forests Minister the Hon. J. W. Spooner has announced. A resident may use a seine -net to thirty feet by six feet to take smelts under the authority of a Resident's Licence to Take Smelts for Personal Use". This licence is available from licence issuers at a fee of $1. The licence permits the possession and use of one seine -net. A non-resident may take smelts under the authority of a "Non- resident's Licence to Take Smelts for Personal Use". This licence is available from licence issuers at a fee of $5. It permits the taking of smelts by means of a dip -net or seine -net. Any non-resident who assists anyone else in taking smelts must have the $5. licence issued in his own name. Not only nave dip -nets been us- ed in past smelt seasons, but also pails, dippers and other such con- trivances have been successfully employed in taking smelts. These are all considered as small dip - nets and, as such, the resident op- erator does not require a licence if the size does not exceed six feet by six feet. Smelt fishing has become in- creasingly popular in Ontario in recent years, though it usually is not the most comfortable of out- door sports. Smelt spawning runs usually are at night and sometimes during the cold and wet weather. The sport, however, attracts thou- sands every spring. Large runs of smelts occur in practically all streams flowing into the Great Lakes where points and beaches washed by strong currents appear to favour spawning. In some districts the duration of the smelt run is less than a week. Tile smelt is a slender, silvery fish with strong teeth. The tasty fish average six to seven inches in length but may reach 14 inches. of the board last week. Estimates approved by the board included major increases in cost of instruction, capital outlays and transportation but this will be met out of the board's 1959 balance The budget showed instructional cost rising from $132,000 to $157,- 000, because of salary increases and additional staff of one full- time and one part-time teacher.
