Hi Dusan=0ASome rivers there will be quite a few traps late in the summer.=
=0AAlmost any fish is fine for bait. The price of eels has not been very go=
od for the=0Aanglers the last few years so not so many bother to set their =
traps.=0ASome anglers set more permanent wooden traps which of course need =
be removed each year.=A0=0AOften high water will wash the traps away so the=
y might be found almost=0Aanywhere along the river.=0AVaries with the price=
.=0AThe price of elvers is very good just now so the elver fishery is in fu=
ll swing.=0AHave a nice spring=0APaul=0A=0A=0A_____________________________=

 Eel Traps ?=0A =0A=A0  Recently, while cleaning up a campsite on Hants Cou=
nty's Herbert River, I came across a pair of cone-shaped pieces of galvaniz=
ed metal with holes at the apices. Bits of rusted chicken wire were still a=
ttached. =0A=A0  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 rust=
ed out.=0A=A0  Anyone on NatureNS with an eel trap story? Are there other d=
