I never put them in fresh water...I left them at the dock in a salt pond. But I think eels spawn in fresh (or brackash) water and they might make it . If it is a salt pond... I think they they will make it. 15 feet sounds more then enough water. (currently I am keeping them alive (short term between nights fishing) in about 4 or 5 ft.. You might loose a couple but most should make it. I have lost 2 eels this season do to dying in the pot. (one was used for the night and returned, the the other was being eaten by his brotha's) I would not worry about any ice. (unless it cuts you line to your pot)
