The damp smell of Shaggy mane mushrooms , and the hot dry smell of ponderosas in the summer sun . That greenish black smell of frog and turtle catching swamps . The smell of a lunch bucket full of garter snakes .
Hey Tuber,
I'm impressed! You know me better than
my wife.*G* Believe it or not, I have had
folks of the Yankee persuasion on my boat
when we encountered that smell, and they had
no idea what it was.*G* Often in spring, I
go out very early when it's quite still and
locate the fish by smell.*G* Particularly
the big red eared sunfish. They congregate
in large numbers prior to the spawn but can
be difficult to locate. Warm regards, Jim
Fresh brewed coffee. Why nobody say this one??
The smell of low tide on a rocky beach or saltwater flat.
The sweet smell of summer grasses and flowers in the lower reaches of a tidal creek.
The smell of a Coleman Lantern being turned out for the night.
Wisteria on a warm spring night in the south.

You had better learn to be a happy camper. You only get one try at this campground and it's a real short camping season.
good one Jim,
You can fish the salt by smell too,at least locally.
When schools of baitfish are being decimated by predators they give off a distinct aroma.The scent has been decribed as a cucumber or melon smell.
I'm sure the difference in the scent description is due to the smell of different baits.
I do know that when walking the beach at night it's an excellent way to locate fish.
The smell of sand eels is one that really gets my attention
Gnu Bee.. the smell of garter snakes? GROSS!!

free to fish without police supervision

well I believe that every one of the smells above are in my book as good ones. Might I add that the smell of fish is a good one - more precisely, standing by a body of water and smelling the smell that comes off of the water that tells me that there are fish.
Also, the smell of limestone, the smell of granite and other rocks when I am out and about in areas with rock, Oh yes, shale too.

Most of you may not have experienced it but the Antarctic has no smell at all except in various places associated with rookeries and human beings etc. After spending 1957 there and upon disembarking from an aircraft in NZ in 1957, the smell of the earth wafted through the plane as soon as the doors were opened. It was wonderful and almost everyone was overwhelmed by it. Next a number of young ladies came by and what a beautiful sight they were. All decked out in dresses and heels...no jeans in those days! Chanel #5 I would guess. Dang near as good the smell of shotgun shells and Hoppie's #9 as mentioned above...maybe better!
