This was filmed at Woolston Weir on River Mersey in Warrington.We saw 20 fish jumping the wier in a 30 minute period!!!! Salmon have not been seen in the river for over 150 years!!!!!!!
Fantastic! Well done! When did you film this? I'm going to post a link to this on the Mersey Basin Campaign blog, as we work for improvements to water quality in the Mersey. Thanks, Kate
Kate, This was filmed in September 2008, and is a fantastic experience to stand their and watch these mighty fish scaling the weir! I have been watching the fish for the last 3 years, but this year there were triple the amount we saw last year. Also I remember playing near this stretch of the river as a young lad and the river was a smelly dead eyesore.....but not now!!!!!!!
this is great, i would like to watch this myself, is there a particular week in september which is best or is it all month long?
