I checked the elevation of the NY lake in my memory. It was 1100ft. I think an inclined side overflow (eel ladder of sorts) to the dam allowed the eels to wriggle up into the lake. I was probably out doing some swimming or fishing, but I couldn't believe what I was seeing. All the way from the Sargasso sea.
I guess the big eel that I caught while striper fishing was on his way back to spawn. A 5lb. eel can give you quite a fight, plus getting him in to shore is only have the battle. What to do with him then? Not a sriped bass, but dinner nontheless. :)
Like sharks, we need to give these amazing fish the protection they need to thrive again.
