Rare eel caught in Kansas River reveals unexpected travel
Tim Smith of Larned reeled a 30 inch American Eel from the Kansas River near the Bowersock Dam in Lawrence on September 11. Officials say the species spawns in the Sargasso Sea and may have migrated from the Atlantic through the Gulf, up the Mississippi, to the Missouri, and finally into the Kansas River. Other eels could lurk unseen, active mainly at night, though upstream passage is blocked by the dam. The catch draws interest from biologists and hints at more rare sightings in the area.
