You won't find any elvers from reproduction in freshwater lakes. They all (american eel) reproduce in the Sargasso sea. Adults return to sea in winter and early spring. Larvae grow at sea and become elvers in near shore areas. Apparently the problem is with reduced numbers of elvers on their return trips, presumably from being harvested but who knows ....
