An eel buck or eel basket is a type of fish trap that was prevalent in the River Thames in England up to the 20th century. It was used particularly to catch eels, which were a staple part of the London diet. Eel bucks were baskets made of willow wood, and were often strung together in a fishing weir. Construction of such weirs was outlawed under the terms of Magna Carta: All fish-weirs shall be removed from the Thames, the Medway, and throughout the whole of England, except on the sea coast. However the practice continued unabated, often with adverse effects on navigation.

| - Homma, eller ålhomma (fsv. haamor, pl.; mlt. hame; lt. hamen), är ett passivt fiskeredskap, en variant av ryssja som liknar en lång strut och är avsedd främst för ål, men som också används för horngädda. Homman förankras på havsbotten på 10–15 meters djup. Fiskarna samlas i ändpåsen, som töms dagligen. Benämningen homma används i södra Sverige. (sv)

However the practice continued unabated, often with adverse effects on navigation. Several islands in the River Thames reflect the presence of bucks at those points; for example, Buck Ait and Handbuck Eyot. A surviving eel buck may be seen on the River Test at 51°7′48″N 1°29′5″W / 51.13000°N 1.48472°W. (en)
