Eels - fresh water to salt water?
Quick question. I'm building an eel trap. If I catch them in a fresh water river far from the ocean, will they survive if i cast them live into salt water? Thanks........BigJim

I dont think it will matter, i keep em in a lake and bring them to the salt and i assume bait shops keep em in fresh water.

Eels are catadromous. They're born in the salt, migrate and live most of their lives in the fresh, and survive equally well in both.

no problems- I just dump my leftover eels from the salt into a big cooler with hose water & a small airstone until I use them the next week.

Thanks for the info fellas. Much appreciated :cheers:
