River Eels

Some details of eel reproduction are as yet unknown, and the discovery of major eel spawning grounds in the Sargasso Sea is one of the more famous anecdotes in the history of Ichthyology.

only a couple of bootlaces this season on pellet, last season i had one of 3.5lbs caught on a huge lump of pepperami from the lower, that is the biggest i've ever caught on the avon, in fact it's the biggest eel i've ever had, didn't half scrap as well, went back alive and well, at least they behave a bit better on the bank rather than the little snottys... :)

Have had two of a similar size this summer on the BA. Think I had 3 last year. They all tend to be around 2.5 to 3lbs and seem very keen on pellets.
