Making the Rounds of Simon Beaulieu’s Eel Traps in Rivière-Ouelle, 21st Century

Two men stand in the river next to a wooden box used to hold eels captive in the weir. They have water up to their knees and are holding a net mounted on a square frame with a long handle. Fishing nets can be seen in front of the box, and mountains in the background.
