| Ray has spent most of his life
on this river. He works on the same eel weir that his father used
to work on with a friend of his. Ray spent his childhood as both a
bait and fly fisherman, and he would hang out around the same weir
that he works on today. So when the rack became available after two
of Ray's friends left it, Ray jumped at the chance to take over the
weir and he has been working on it ever since.
Ray works the weir by himself with only
the help of Smell, for the most part. He will get volunteers to
help him build the weir in the spring and early summer. Ray enjoys
it all the same if he gets to stack the rocks by himself. It is
a time of tranquility and peace where he can just be alone, with
Mother Nature, and his dog.
Besides just catching eels, Ray is also
a Gourmet Consultant. He can prepare eel alone over a half dozen
different ways. He also has a smoke house on his property where
he smokes and prepares the eels that he catches to sell.
