I want to try smelting again, where should I go?
« on: Jan 21, 2009, 08:28 AM »
I haven't been smelting for about 15 years. I use to got to James Eddy with my Grandfather. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on where I should go.

That's not a bad place to start ;)

Anywhere is good...you just have to be there at the right time....just like any fishing.....Worthings, Bakers, Lieghtons, any of those are good.....

Riverbend, haven't heard of anyone doing bad there yet this year
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

If you want to catch smelts its Riverbend. If you want to just say you went smelting try someplace else.
Thats Why They Call It Fishing.

I definitely want to catch some smelts, I hear they are delicious. When I went about 15 years ago I think 2 of us only caught a dozen or so during the time we were there. Not very fun, not to mention I was too young to drink ;D
