Also, many thousands of smelt with nets.

Doesn't matter. In the years when I pursued them.....mostly the early
60s through mid 70s.....the stench of millions of tons of rotting
alewives pretty much drowned out everything else.

Many a fine memory of same. Sitting on the 'horseshoe' at Montrose harbor
with Dad at 3 AM. The horrible stench of the alewives was easily drowned
out by the stories Dad told about smelting in his youth.

Must be a hell of a story that would drown out alewives. A Dad worth
keeping, I'd say.

Thanks for the flashback...

De nada.......flashbacks are free.
