SMELT FISHING
Sttiell lisltiitg, wliicli assiiitteil ciittsi<lci'ablc pru-
piitjtioits in recent years, has been, coittparziiivcly, it
f`:iiliire so far this seasott, owing largely tio doubt to
the late iorittzitiott of ice. The season closes on Feb-
rtt;ii‘y i_f,tlt. Last year, for reasons similar to those
which tttilitatcd against the industry this year, fishing
was poor :uid the fishernieii and dealers presented :1
joiitt petition to the government asking that the sea-
soti be extended so as to iticliide tltc next spring or
high tides after the 15th February. The prayer of the
petition was granted with the result that thc season’s
shortage was made good. We understand a similar pe-
tition is ttow being prepared and have tio doubt it will
bc'graiited. It is a well-known fact that the princi-
pal czitclics of smelts are made during spring tides. The
last spring tide in the open season this year will centre
around l"cb. 6th., the date of the full iitooti, so that
fisliiiig will virtually cease on the 7th or Sth, whereas,
if thc next spring tide, at new tiiooii on the 21st, were
included it would give the fishermen the fuil fishing of
the legal fishing season. N o doubt the intention of the
framers of__t.b_e Act was that the fishermen should en-‘
1 _ l
joy all thc privileges of the season upto February 15th, _ L°°kl“g back 0V" the PHSMWO alld a half Years it
is
that is, of the next spring tides after the 15th, as other-
wise the season might be shortened by from one to two
weeks. In the opinion of many the Act should be ain-
endcd to read "on the second day after the next new or
lull moon after February 15th."
