For the past week or so we have been noticing some small fish in the creek around the corner from our house, so today Mike and Charlie took some hotdogs and a fishing pole down to the creek and caught, well, this: A North American eel, which some research does show is indigenous to MA waterways, spending most of its life in fresh water and then returning to the ocean to spawn. This was apparently the small eel they caught; the big one, they tell me, was too big to fit in the bucket and was too mean, besides. Charlie, of course, is beside himself with excitement over the sudden interesting wildlife cropping up in his backyard.
