A total of 7 streams are now being monitored for elvers. Numerous traps are now in situ along with temperature loggers.
First real capture occurred today with 125 captured on one small stream....hopefully just the start. 90 elvers were caught in the first trap with fewer being caught upstream. Interestingly this stream is the warmest of all the streams chosen. It is not the most southerly either and is situated in a bay/inlet as opposed to the open sea. All apart from one were glass eels, the other was a very small yellow eel, possibly one of last years migrants.
