DULUTH, Minn. (Northern News Now) - It’s smelt season in the Twin Ports and you can catch some this Sunday as they jump the shore onto land. That’s because it’s time for the 12th annual Magic Smelt Parade on the Lakewalk in Duluth. Hundreds of Northlanders gather in their best smelt-themed, glistening silver clothes, emulating the tiny fish commonly caught this time of year on the shores of Lake Superior. To help celebrate, there’s a brass band and even a smelt queen, which is a 15-foot long puppet.
