I found the 1/2" mesh in the garden dept. Had to ask but 1st find someone who cared.
It cost me approx. $11. to make two traps.
Save your money on the above minnow trap as I tried those 1st as we had a bunch of them and the eels go in/out without any trouble at all.
You'd need a tube attached to the funnel that goes almost all the way to the other side. Then close off the other side(pinch it closed would be fine).
I'll see if I've got any pix around of mine.
Also check local tackle shops as they might have some traps.
If they have the square(rectangle actually) I've heard for some reason the eels shy away from that shape but have no experience with them.
