   Recently, while cleaning up a campsite on Hants County's Herbert River, I came across a pair of cone-shaped pieces of galvanized metal with holes at the apices. Bits of rusted chicken wire were still attached. 
   A local fisherman told me that they are the end-pieces of a cylindrical eel trap. Obviously, the chicken wire that had held the pair of conical metal endpieces together (and the captured eels inside) had rusted out.
   Anyone on NatureNS with an eel trap story? Are there other designs of eel traps out there, besides these cylinders and besides eel weirs? What do you use for bait?
