Fishing on Lake Superior

Cold, vast and deep, Lake Superior's virtually an inland ocean and it can be a bit foreboding. But at the far western end of the lake, just north of Duluth, Minnesota, a productive harvest is going on virtually year-round: lake herring, a smokehouse favorite. And it takes a special kind of character to brave Superior alone, in an open boat, to chase down this native fish. The America's Heartland Series is produced by KVIE Television, a PBS affiliate.
