#2/179:
​Lake Whitefish
​Coregonus clupeaformis​

Picture
Captured 7/15/20, St. Marys River near Sault Ste. Marie, MI.  Method: Angling. Watershed: Lake Huron

​Notes: These guys were by-catch from our Atlantic Salmon trip.  I'm always happy to get a few.   They're pretty hard to bring in the boat, because their mouths are so soft.   Bigger ones have to be netted if you want to keep them.   I smoke them whole, using Alder wood.  I use Alder because I'm from Seattle, and that's what people use for fish.  

I also captured Lake Whitefish in gillnets from my trip out with the MDNR.   We didn't catch many, but this one (below) was in good enough shape for me to take a close-up.   You can see along the nape of its neck the missing scales from taking it out of the gillnet.

This fish was about 3 lbs. Big!
