lindylou53 Â Â 18 #1 Posted March 18, 2019 Started a similar thread a few years ago but can't find it! Saw a fish today - presumably a trout - trying to leap (unsuccessfully) up the weir at Hillsborough Corner by the bus-stop. The river - as you can imagine after recent downpours - was very fast-flowing so the poor thing didn't get very far! I seem to remember looking this up on-line and thought it was supposed to happen in autumn. Any explanations anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Even 12 years ago when I moved here, most rivers were polluted. Now we have otters, trout and all sorts in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
