Papakowhai Reserve eels.

Geoff from Papakowhai

Or should that be 'ex-eels' ?

Despite the signage , and unless they have suddenly migrated off somewhere, it appears that some low-life has cleaned them out apart from one small one remaining today. Usually there are well over a dozen large ones living there that come up to the bank if any sign of a human there. Today there is a small wooden ramp leaning into the pond, which I assume was for dragging the speared eels out up onto the bank.

Sad if this is actually what has happened.
