Yes we stock eels in most of the ponds and lakes up here they do move from one neighbor to the next , but people love to catch them and they are great eating. Bullheads are a must up here for bass food they keep coming back every year and never overpopulate most ponds or lakes.
Yes eels are used for bait in the hudson most common size used is 8 to 14". Also thousand islands for pike and muskie. Most of the men around here give them to their mother inlaws for valentines day!
