Ok, ok. I admit they are UV phosphorescent but...

And I'll just take that bit of your sentence and ignore the rest!! LOL! Do the fish glow too? Tell me you don't eat the fish from any of those rivers, right?

DH had a rule about eating the fish from certain bodies of water. Basically, we ate what we fished out of Lake Michigan, Grand Traverse Bay, and, during certain years, the Boardman river.

Oh, and we could eat the smelt we drank (smelt drinking, it's not for sissies, and it's done in the UP, at like the first river/creek on the L of US 2 about 20 miles west of the bridge!) (this is not a food slide, it's a fishing.environment slide!)

What kind of blender did you use to puree the smelt? Did you cook them first or just throw them raw in the blender?

Yes. Walleye. Smallmouth are caught for the fight and thrown back.

Right below the dam, the high bank is filled with chemical operations plants and the other side is run-off settling ponds.

The river has been cleaned up to world class levels. There is no chemical exposure concern.

The sun-rise side used to be greatest smelt fishing anywhere. No such great numbers now. Maybe cause the chemicals have been cleaned up?

I have long tales of smelt-dipping from my youth. And smelt drinking (better with cold beer).

The only fish with a DNR regulated catch-limit in “5-gallon buckets” (2/person/day).

Food slide before the Night crew arrives!

I assume you are saying that you drank while you fished for smelt!
If drinking smelt? Whatever that is... Then.Deepfried smelt is better thanks! :)

Food slide off & Off to do errands !
