Salmon Jumping Shrewsbury Weir

- The salmon are taking part in their normal annual migration to the lakes and streams further up the Severn such as at Lake Vyrnwy and Llyn Clywedog. These salmon travel from Greenland across the Atlantic to revisit the place they were born in order to spawn. We are lucky to witness such an amazing journey.

Probably the best footage I've seen of salmon leaping. The turbulent white water makes the video stunning to watch.
Great to see some of the salmon leaping close to the camera. Salmon have such an incredible life cycle - their amazing journey is almost magical...
Lol it's like they're jumping above the clouds in Paradise
I can't believe this. The salmon probably wish the weir hadn't been built.
Visited Shrewsbury yesterday and walked along the river down to the weir. Was explaining to my kids that during the spawning season the Salmon would have to jump the weir to get to their breeding grounds upstream. Incredible slow motion footage, would love to witness this for real one day. And we think we have hard lives...these magnificent creatures have endured predators from birth, commercial trawlers, anglers, pollution and man made obstacles. Only the most intelligent, strongest and fittest survive to breed and ensure the survival of the species. Yes, nature can be cruel at times, but it can also be so incredibly beautiful, we can learn so much from it if we only get out there and enjoy it. Thank you for posting this video, truly great work.
This is fantastic to watch. Congratulations and thank you!
That's awesome!
They should make a salmon ladder 🪜 for them to make it easier!
I LIVED ON THE BANKS OFF THAT RIVER AND PEOPLE CALLED ME A TRAMP BUT THEY DONT CAPTURE REAL LIFE THANKS FOR THE VIDEO TOOK ME BACK
Lovely - thanks for sharing this film!
This is why the salmon are called Salmo Salar..Salar ,Latin for leper.Yes these weirs need better fish passes to help migration.
Magnificent Fish, God forbid we ever lose the Salmon.
Wont be long till they are gone. Wild salmon are in serious danger of being wiped out
With the help of man made wears like Shrewsbury blocking the salmon's runs to their spawning grounds it won't take long for them to disappear.
@@johnwalsh8175 Yes, it's well past time these relics were simply demolished.
What a wonderful piece of film and music ,thank you
Great footage, been looking for some nice slomes footage of salmon in Wales, this is perfect. Diolch yn fawr!
I seem to remember that there is a salmon ladder under the concrete where the man is sitting.
It would be a great help if these impossible man made challenges were removed or altered to have a fish ladder so that spawning stocks could be increased.
Great video love Shrewsbury
Many thanks. Beautiful uk I always love it
oh. That legendary Fish !
Good i also have seen this happen in the River Bush,Bushmills N I..a beautiful seen for sure.
At 2:00 in, watching in slow motion, one fish seems to levitate, totally perpendicular to the river bottom plane rather than propelled horizontally by jumping with momentum, like the rest. According to what David Wilcock, and what he says in the beginning of his recent video called: Hindu and Zoroastrian Prophecies, there is an ancient mysterious technique whereby these fish, can, in fact, levitate. They do so using a certain movement/motion that allows them to defy gravity. Just watched this to see if there was any validity to his claim and there just might be.
bruh the song almost made me cry
Wooooo hooooo I'm getting me some air time. We went to the same place last week. The salmon were only small but the kids loved it. I think the Mrs secretly loved it too.
Brilliant !!!
Beautiful fish !
Bruhhh thumbnail tho
Do they make it up the weir .???
does is pass the area where salmon jump. the stream going down very strong.
Nice to watch, ....after fishing for fifty years, I think their noses (pre- kype) look strange, a bit pointed?
Quand j’étais enfant ont allés voir cela dans l’alagnon ,maintenant plus aucun saumon…c désastreux de voir la planète a son aconit…
Majestic!
It's cool how nature has made it so that only the fish that make it through this journey get to breed. Cool little way to have survival of the fittest
AWESOME
Wow, just wow.
Do they get up?
Did any make it ?
All that way to end up at a fking reservoir dam.nice
Yes,a fish pass needs to happen,however salmons latin name,salmo Salar...the leaper is certainly true here.Severn Trent water need to keep the river clean and stop ANY sewage waste releases into the rivers .Salmo needs clean water!
Senang sekali lihat ikannya mantap👍😍😍👍
really nice thanks - what time of year was this?
It was October last year so they will probably be returning any time now:)
Big wear that know pots for them?
Can you advise what time of year
how freaking sad!!!! completely pissifying that nothing is being done even on a temporary basis.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
That's a really sad video.
Shameful to have such wears blocking salmon from returning to their spawning grounds !
You'll be pleased to hear that the project called Unlock the Severn is well under way, and hopefully will eventually reach Shrewsbury Weir! ruclips.net/video/YX9Pc197z44/видео.html
What do you mean? The harder it is the more fit and evolved the species will become. We are actually helping evolution lol
@@timbuckthe2nd642 It doesn't work that way. They've evolved over millions of years for their environment. Sudden and abrupt changes don't allow time for the species to adapt, they just have their populations decimated - we've seen this in river system after river system. Also, fewer salmon reaching their spawning ground depletes the entire ecosystem as many species relies on the abundance of food they bring in the form of eggs and fry to drive their own breeding cycles.
@@lmlmd2714 disagree fam. Those fish be YEETing.
Sad these fish have ro fight to get pssef amanmade obstacle
Actually, this is SIGNIFICANTLY easier than several non-man-made obstacles. If you think about the direction they are going in ie against the flow, they are - by their very nature - going not just upstream, but uphill.
@@Jacam781
All obstacles are a problem for salmon but weirs are man-made. Salmon are used to natural falls and the like. Many salmon have scarred and cut bellies from trying to swim up these weirs. In some instances some are unable to get up the Weir in time to spawn and, therefore, are forced to spawn below the Weir which is unsuitable habitat for redds due to the river being larger here than the intended spawning habitats.
I hope they have their passports.
coho?
No, this is England, Atlantic Salmon.
This is NOT Brilliant!....The salmon can't make it over the weir for the most part....remove the damn Dams!!
is this area of the severn much good for barbel fishing
To the untrained novice, these might at first appear to be Salmon, they are in fact large brown ferox trout... Nice footage...
These are Salmon in their spawning colours
They are clearly Atlantic Salmon
