Tony Jolley will be pleased! Went after bream last night, but what did I catch? Eels, and yet more eels, and even more eels. If the eel population is down to 1% then I dread to think what it would have been like with a 99% increase, sheer nightmare!! Anyone else noticed an increase in eels? Now know why I took to lure fishing! No eels.
Yes, I did have just one bream, on my first cast, and that was it. -------------------- PETER

No shortage of eels about Glasgow (and further North than that) either.

Yea Wendy but the bigger eels behave themselves better.

Upstream of Great Yarmouth it was Dan! More eels last night than in the last three years
 . Just lump on a leger and a big bunch of maggots, just slightly easier than getting a parking ticket in Norwich.
