Summary

Pathe synopsis: On the River Wissey, Norfolk, we see an electric fishing machine used for separatng coarse fish from trout. The machine generates an electric current strong enough to stun the fish - they float to the surface and are netted. Those that don’t float ar caught at a stop net downstream...but don’t ask us what happens to electric eels!
