A fence of wattles
Placed just so in the mud
shaped in labyrinth
out in the current
by the landing, in the channel
An old fashioned tool
Spring to Winter
Sentinels in the water
Tended by the lone fisher
Anachronistic in modern times
a fish weir in the river
named for an eel.

From my memory of the weir in the Lamprey River, in downtown Newmarket, NH in 1982/1983.
