eel fishing/angling

[corbyeire]

just wondering is it fishing for eels including angling or is this netting old stretches in rivers?

from IFI:
Eel fishing is closed until 2012. The prospect of re-opening the eel fishery will be considered at that time, following a review of the data collated as a result of scientific sampling provided for in the draft plan.

Bye-law No C.S. 303, 2009 prohibits fishing for eel, or possessing or selling eel caught in a Fishery District in the State until June 2012.
Bye-Law No 858, 2009 prohibits the issue of eel fishing licences in any Fishery District.

I noticed the IFSA has a regulation where you must return an eel before casting out again in shore comps

it includes angling AFAIK, the ISFC has removed them from their eligable species

your not allowed to fish for them ,have one in your posession and if you hook one you have to unhook it with your eyes closed!
