STORY OUTLINE:  

It's summer in the '70s and an idea is hatched to go eel hunting on the Manawatu River. With home-made spears, under the cloak of darkness, the intrepid eelers set off. But everything does not go according to plan. 

* During the 60's & 70's eels were abundant in NZ but now, sadly, the Longfin Eel is now threatened and needs our protection. The Longfin is only found in NZ.
