It's so great to see! While fishing these wierpools you used to watch trout try jump up the wier all the time and have no chance of making it.

 

The ea have stocked barbel and eels in there too - superb to see the river getting the help it needs.

 

Dunno if anyone's interested but I thaught I'd put pics up and share my joy lol.

A bit of revival of an old topic but I have to share the joy lol   I got a phone call from a mate who was fishing the aire and he caught 3 eels!!! So I shot down to see and here they are....    

i remember seeing fish trying to jump the weir at cas... i wasnt sure what they were, i was stuck on the bridge in traffic at the time. nice to see those pics tom .

It was a while ago now but the fish passes will no doubt help them move about...

You are quite correct about the 'holt', but it is the worst example of a 'holt' you'll ever encounter, basically a plastic box with 4 foot of plastic pipe leading into it and I would say that it's never had an otter in it! :laugh: Lots of trout and chub on the river there but there's also billions of minnows. And there's always a hell of a lot of otter trade, should someone know what signs to look for. :victory:

I actually have photos of the fish passes being made, as well as other areas on the Aire.... :thumbs: They were made late last spring/early summer.
