The rougher the river the better they like it. They are caught in wing-nets, stretched right across the river. You see them dimly sometimes, swimming in processions about three feet down, always in midstream. Eels are clearly in close touch with the moon, moving with it like the tides and shunning the sun. It is no wonder, when you consider that they spend the first three years of their lives as elvers drifting on the ocean currents towards our shores. They are sea creatures living inland.🏁
