When I heard about the proposed ban on eels, my heart sank to the pit of my stomach. I primarily fish with eels and will continue to do so until laws force me to change my ways, at which time I will find an alternative as I am a law abidin citizen of this foreign country.
This issue has been on my mind since I first caught wind of it and have been considering ways that I can contribute to the conservation of eels.
I plan to cut down on the number of eels I toss once they are dead. I am going to explore the practicality of saving the dead eels and experiment with fishin rigged eels and eel skins. Gotta to really figure out how to rig them.
