Fishing for smelt is still open. It's a lot of fun and the fish are very tasty. The smelt are small (about 4 to 6 inches) so you just clean them, fry them nice and crispy and eat them whole.
Brook trout fishing in the Saguenay is open year round too. We are allowed 5 brook trout. Average size is about 15 inches. Not many people target the brook trout by using a larger bait and hook than those used for smelt. These salt water brook trout are excellent table fare.
