That picture is from Quebec where they have a 2 month festival on the ice. They fish for tommy cod (smelt).

Here's the link for that place. It tells the history, set-up, and fishing methods. Pretty neat.

I went to the site of the link bean provided. If you look in the pictures there is one titled peche1. Those dont look like the smelt i remember. Those things are 12" long. Look more like small walleye, but not sure about species. Do they catch several species?

Bean · « **Reply #12 on:** Sep 26, 2004, 04:22 PM »

Microgadus Tomcod (Walbaum) or Atlantique Tom Cod are this fish's scientific names. Most commonly, however, it is called small channel fish (petit poisson des chenaux), Christmas fish, small cod, loach or Tommy cod. The average lenght of this species is around 15 cm for the female. Some may reach a maximum length of 38 cm, but these are exceptions. The average weight is 45 grams to a maximum of 570 grams.
Normally, a Tommy cod has a very short lifespan of about 3 years but it can reach the age of 8 years. It produces an average of 8600 eggs per year ; a minimum of 1000 eggs to a maximum of 46,000, which explains their abundance in the Ste-Anne River. Taking one year with another, fishermen catch between 300 and 400 tons of tom cods. Despite this apparent volume, the harvest remains modest if compared to the quantity of tom cods present in the area. The total volume caught represents only between one and three percent of all the fish that come back to spawn in the Ste-Anne River

Man, those canadians know how to do it right! Now THAT's what I call ice fishing! People around here think I'm nuts because I have a stereo system, playstation and laptop in my shanty. Hey, when the fish are not biting, i want to watch the packers..if they are not on, pop a DVD into the laptop or play Burnout 3! It's all about doing what you want to do...it looks like a damn fine drunk to me!

That reminds me of when I was a kid. The smelt shacks were just as plentiful, though they wer 1/2 to 1/3 the size of those and without electricity. I don't see many shanty villages anymore.

billditrite · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 21, 2004, 05:00 PM »

dont see any smelt anymore either $:-\$

That looks like the old west mining camps of the 1800's. Except there are no bars or brothels.

Sounds like a job oppurtunity Grump
