Where to buy smelts?
 

Where would be a good place to buy smelts? Haven't been finding any in grocery stores or sportshops.

billingsgate,superstore t&t

Wholesale Sports had lots left this evening. Fly's in High River had quite a few as well.

Stupidstore has 2-lb bags of smelt in their seafood section...I keep the bag in the freezer; just put 15 or so in a zip-lock on the counter to that, the night before I go out. Works great.

I think superstore beats any "bait shop" for value and size. I must be not the only one as they sell out on smelt in summer on saturdays in the morning. (is there any other use than bait for smelt???)

i looked in superstore the smelts were to small

T&T asian food market on 97 street and 137 avenue in Edmonton usually has good quality smelts and all others sorts off fishy stuff in different sizes. Check em out.

Some Canadian tires have a fridge in the back of sport section

Not sure where you are located but some Husky gas stations sell bait. The one in Forest Lawn does, but not sure if that helps you...

Yeah they are weird that way go back in a week and they will have larger ones I think it's just when they turn their stock over kinda thing.

or i got the best idea 11 bucks for 3 smelts at cast away sports in sylvan lake

it all depends where u live... if u live in red deer or near ufa is the best place to go. u can get a bag of medium smelts that has i think 10 or more smelts for only 2 bucks a bag...i bought a **** load of bags to last me so i dont always have to run to the store again n again

Safeway in Canmore carries small ones.
