Large smelts
« on: Jan 29, 2011, 09:00 AM »
Anyone know where to get smelts in the Regina area. I was home at new years and I my dad was not able to find any this year. A couple of the regular places that he usually gets them said that they are not available this year. Anyone else having trouble getting smelts this season?

Not sure if this will help you, but I bought a bag at Superstore in Whitehorse yesterday.  If they have them here, they might in Regina, too.

Was just at the north Superstore in Regina the other day. Their smelts are fairly small. Not much bigger than frozen minnows.

hey spoxick...it seems to really get to you when people make new threads on old topics. I've seen you call out several people on this, including myself. Whats the deal? Just curious why it bothers you so much?  ;)
Still counting.....

because i dont know why people dont do a little reading instead.

i mean just look at the first page of posts if you dont see anything relavent then ok fine post something new.
i guess its just one of my pet peeves

also if you use this site as a source of information as well and dont bother searching and just making a post that has already been discussed you will not get the amount of insight and knowledge that has already been passed around through the first post ... hence why this thread only has i think 8 replys and the original thread has a couple pages

just my .02
