I have seen them running up the beck many times and often thought “well I wonder where you were hiding all season!” There is a YouTube video of them using the fish pass the club installed to help them on their way, I will see if I can find the link.<br />Alistair Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389466523719234443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-64409945666543242372018-09-21T20:57:47.886-04:002018-09-21T20:57:47.886-04:00Sam, thank you.
