Default Parker Minnows...needed

Shopped around at four places in Edmonton and found no Parker Minnows.
The other brands were just not up to par and so are smelts.
Anyone find any ?

I like to use the Candle Lake shiners, very similar to the Parker.

Did you check west end Fishin Hole?

We just got a load of jumbo and regular size parkers in on Thursday. They sell quick though so maybe already gone although that seems unlikely.

I am sure they are trying hard to deplete the warehouse as it is not that long away until this years catch comes in. Anything you buy now is almost a year old and new stock is only caught in a short spring window for the whole year.
