One year during my college years the fire danger was so high in Eastern Washington that the Game Department delayed the opening of dove season. So, for Labor Day weekend I went with some old Cub/Boy Scout friends to their cabin on Camano Island and raked smelt. I don't remember how Elmer prepared them but probably fried.
What I remember most about that weekend was the six nice grain fed Columbia Basin mallards I brought that Mrs. Lundstrom roasted in the woodstove and all of us sitting out on their deck high above Utsalady Bay eating duck and tossing the bones over the side!
