thistlekicker	10/05/2023 10:52AM Those were not eels. They were lampreys, probably the native Silver Lamprey. Lampreys
jdddl8	10/04/2023 12:06PM I was fishing on Fred and caught a pike with an eel attached. I met another guy and he said that he and his son had caught two with eels. I am not an eel expert so I can't say for sure that they were Lampreys but the one I caught sure looked like the ones that I have seen in pictures. I wonder how prevalent eels are in the park. Have you caught fish with eels in Q? Recently or a long time ago? If they are Lampreys I wonder how they got there.
