Middle Cove magic: Capelin frenzy begins as fish finally start rolling

The capelin are finally rolling at Middle Cove Beach, and dozens of people enjoyed a gorgeous day catching the silvery fish with nets, buckets and fishing rods Saturday.

It was a true multigenerational event, with one mother watching her grown son catch capelin and many young parents bringing their children to witness the annual event for the very first time.

Take a look at some of the action in the photo gallery below.
