Gale had to stop himself from not so subtly checking out his friend, but Kolysakr's not so subtle demands for hunger was enough to refocus him on the task at hand. There wasn't any time to stand around, so he was fast behind Alph as he crossed into the river. The current was strong, much stronger than he'd felt it before, but as they neared the western bank they reached the smoother flowing shallows. The traps were simple wooden constructs, essentially twigs stuck into the ground here and there, as well as a few loosely woven baskets. The trick was making the area appear like a natural environment where the fish would go to hunt for food, but the twigs and baskets were a maze designed for interested fish to investigate, but never find their way out again. The traps were even more full than normal, many of the fish having sought to escape the rapid waters by hiding in the shallows.

Galen lugged a basket from under the water at the edge of the shallow zone, it's tie was loose and the thing had almost been torn away. There were a good number of fish within, now gasping and flapping around frantically that they were out of the water. Gale handed the basket to Alph and pointed him towards the twig-maze. In such a close difficult-to-navigate area, the fish wouldn't be able to escape their hands. Gale snatched up another basket further in the shallows, this one with only a couple of fish within. He then trudged through the mud towards the maze and started plucking the cornered fish from the waters and dropping them in the basket.
