other Great Lakes The smelt is not native to the Great lattes Its native home is the Atlantic coast where it lives in the sea running into streams in spring to spawn Some lakes in Maine and New Brunswick con tained themand it was from such fresh waters that they were intro duced into the Great Lakes In 1900 the little fish which smells like afucumber was plant ed in the St Marys Riverby of ficiaLs of the State of Michigan There were repeated plantings up to 1291 but it is doubtful if any of these were succemful In 1912 smell eggs were planted in Crystal Lake Michigan but it was 10 years before mature smells were found there In 1923 they appear ed in Lake Michigan near the out let of Crystal Lake Fish know no boundaries international The same year 1923 specimens were taken at Tober moray on the Bruce Peninsula The smelt worked their way south seeking salt water again and turned up in Lake Erie lhen in Lake Ontario and the St Lawrene River Probably the unsung hero of the smelt runs is one Newt Ely of Beulah Michigan Smelt made their first appearance in stream near Newts farm in 1918 News paper reporls of the time state He didnt know alsmelt when he saw one He took two water

smelts in Ontario recently an sweeps swiftly past short distance from his house It was warm day and Mrs Ely had reminded him to fill the tube before he went to the office At tlieocreek he dipped pail into the foot depth of crystal clear water with an indifferent motion of established habit The poll felt strangely heavy as it came up Newt paused to look at it He stared in openmouthed astonish merit In the bucket was wiggling tipping mass He rubbed his eyes and stared again Instead of pail of water he had poll of fish little sardinelike fish about eight inches long He turned vto the creek Again he rubbed his eyes The sixfoot width of water was filled from bank to bank with teeming struggling mass of fish all headed upstream Some even were crowded above water Thats how it all began Since then thousands of Ontario resi dents have enjoyed smelt Some years ago the small fish died in millions and biologists could find no cause for the disaster But they have come back this year and department experts believe that the smelt fishing will be good The smelt is tender silvery fish with minute loose scales sharply forked tail and mouth ful of tiny sharp teeth It looks something like clsco or herriiig except for the larger mouth arm ed with those teeth Maximum size is around 13 to 14 inches weight approximately eight ounces aver age size seven to 10 inches trough estimate of catch would be about 11 fish to the pound Make Film Record Of Irum peter Swan VERNON BC MAY1 CF The trumpeter swan British Col umbias rarest species of wild life has been recorded on film at its winter feeding
