--Boundary_(ID_GWxxUyNe0woFETTfP4npzQ) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Angela et al., one spot for the smelt run in April is at the Melanson bridge along the Gaspereau River (ask Kevin Reid in the store there for info'), and I know they are jigged and dip-netted (still legally?) between Melanson and Gaspereau. In May you will want to observe and show your friends how the square-netting works for gaspereau (until the end of May, when the netting stops for conservation reasons). Perhaps the easiest place to observe a square net in operation is just south of the Gaspereau River bridge at Gaspereau (confusing??). I think the family that operates this net is named Coldwell (lots of them at Gaspereau!), and the father or a son lives just south of the trapping site. Inquiring at that house should provide info' regarding sates of the gaspereau run and dates for the fishing -- lately the 16 or so families that operate square nets have chosen to not fish on certain days of the week, again for conservation reasons. These are mostly mixed farmers who are supplementing their income by the seasonal gaspereau fishing, and most of the fish end up being salted and shipped to the Caribbean (Haiti?).
