Angry Esocid Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Hey everybody, I've been working with a conservation authority in Eastern Ontario doing an American Eel population survey. We just started, and have only done a few sites in the Ottawa and Rideau rivers so far and no eels yet. They were once abundant in these areas, but sadly are now endangered in Ontario. So I was wondering if anybody has caught any in these watersheds, or knows of any being caught in the area. I joined this site a couple of months ago and have really enjoyed the articles and opinions posted on here, and thought it wouldn't hurt to ask around and possibly help narrow our search! Thanks!

MillerPhoto Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I was fishing with a buddy of mine at Murray Canal outside Brighton, and he caught a Eel once, about 3 ft long. Never smelled anything so nasty, and I believe he ended up throwing out his net cause he couldn't get the smell out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that about them, that their slime is almost like tar and really hard to get out, I didn't know they stank too. Thanks for the tip! Still no eels yet though...
