Summary Mike Baker has offered shacks for rent on the frozen Kennebec River since 1976, where residents of Maine 'drink and swap lies' together while fishing for Rainbow Smelt. Guests pay $10 a tide for one of the tiny shelters at Baker's Smelt Camps to catch the migratory fish while consuming more than a few drinks with friends. A recent, sharp decline of the Rainbow Smelt population threatens the winter tradition of smelting that has drawn people to such camps across Maine for generations. The documentary encapsulates the 2013 season at Baker's Smelt Camps as Mike, his family and guests work, fish and drink atop the ice. View more details
