I’m not positive but I believe they call them lake herring in Lake Superior? There are whitefish in the big lake as well and it seems the locals criss cross the names a bit. I cannot be sure. Cisco as I know them from fishing across Canada are generally 6-8” long and look like they are made of chrome. There are ways to net them deep, they are terrific lake trout bait. In the north you need deep cold water for them. I have seen schools of them hundreds of yards long, millions of fish, on my graphs.

They are trying to establish them in Keyuka Lake in NY for the last 5 or so years. Not sure how that is working out.......jk

That is something I ain't thought about in years.
I always bought a few smoked Ciscoes when traveling through Two Harbors, MN. I haven't been there in probably a decade. Sure hope they are still there.

Ciscos, are a Member of the Herring Family - Not a Salmon. FYI - Bob. I had been told this as well. Many of what are caught thru the ice are Tulipe which are whitefish, not ciscos. Been a while and you hear it many different ways. What I know for sure is the Cisco have an underbite to their jaw structure, whitefish have an overbite. Osky

They are called Lake Herring, even though salt water Herring, like the ones you can buy pickled, are members of the Clupidae family of fishes.

https://www.facebook.com/RussKendalls If you want smoked Ciscos or Lake Superior Herring checkout Kendalls in Knife River Mn. They are located between Duluth and Two Harbors. Looks like they stop shipping first week of March. Gary J

We have them here in ND. I have never ate one. They would make good pike bait.
