This is from my Post Card collection. It depicts a time when work was hard to get, so you worked at whatever came along. In the winter months, mostly February and March, smelts were caught and in barrels and sold. Even to today, those are the only two months this happens. There smelt frys everywhere on the Miramichi, sometimes they are deep fried and sometimes grilled. They are extremely little fish and very tasty. A real treat since it only comes around once a year.
