What is elvering?

did snow white not do that to the 7 dwarfs?

[BEARINATOR 2,867]

Catching young eels mate , the poor things have a hard enough time on their journey back from the Saragossa sea as it is

[MUDD 374]

Totally disagree with it myself

[events co-ordinator 353]

The Scottish govt has made it ilegal to fish for freshwater eels (EU directive apparantly) but the EA is still giving out Licences

should be banned!!!

 

And why is that?

And why is that?

 

because im an eel fisherman and struggle to get a few at the best of times.

As has already been said, their life is hard enough as it is when trying to return to our rivers.

Same as me then for fishing for them , it is now an offence for anybody that catches 1 on rod and line to kill it . Long live Anguilla Anguilla

"Because I'm an eel fisherman and I don't like it"

"because there life is hard enough"

Sounds a bit hypocritical coming from a hunter,

Would 'nt tighter regulations like catch limits be fairer to all.

where do you fish for them buddy?

 

do you catch many?

anything good?

 

best night ive had,(a 36hr session) is 14 which is outstanding for around here, biggest of that was around 4lb BUT ive another spot, on the thames, rarely get over 2 or 3 and my biggest just short of 8lb

[BEARINATOR 2,867]

Just the old farm ponds I have permission on, biggest was 6lb. Had loads out the river wansbeck as well but nothing big. When me and my pals are fishing I'm normally the one who has to de-hook them and put them back in

I love my hunting as much as fishing but ain't no hypocrite as I think that eels have a hard time as it is, so they should go back , same as if rabbits are scarce then I won't hunt them. It is all about conservation after all

Wansbeck used to be lifting with eels when i were a lad, they would be all you would catch if using worms for bait.
