| Eel pots, long lines, coghill nets, fyke nets and traps are licenced by the Boards. |
| The box net, which is larger than a fyke net, consists of a leader with enclosure of netting held in place by posts and lines. |
| The fyke nets are suspended by placing floats at the apex of each hoop, and on the top of the opening frames. |
| In the spring, when there is more water in the rivers, the largest fyke nets with openings up to 4 to 5 feet high are used. |
| The reason for the failure of the fyke nets to capture fry is probably related to location and timing of installation. |
| To get a daily count of the eels, researchers catch them in a 10-foot conical trap known as a fyke net. |
