I remember smelt fishing when I was a young child about 60 years ago. They didn't even clean them - just bar-b-qued them whole and ate the whole thing.

[@spencerselander71]

Looks like they hit the early part of the run, which is made up of male smelt. The females, which are smaller, follow after this "pilot run".
