River Wear Durham city center framwelgate waterside just 200 or so yards down stream from cathederalthe river has extra water after rain and is late on in the year a month or two fater this video most them salmon will be dead after spawning.too see salmon leaping in general you need a over night rain for the river to go muddy looking from the rain then a day later or sometimes resident fish will jump weirs ...
No salmon and sea trout need extra water -rain watta this along with mud which flows into the river when in flood which is what makes them migrate from sea / lower river to up river,when waters too low the fish hold back rain water triggers them ive fished Durham on the wear in the video for 44 years for salmon
theys more salmon now in the noirth east than they has been since industrial pollution nearly wiped them from around 1900 time Tees Tyne every river flowing to Humber wansbeck and rivers Blyth now bouncing with salmon.
Ah this weir could do with improving to help salmo salar....they need it Great to see after their journey from Greenland Salar...the Leaper....even though they journey to their death Heres to a good redd cutting...and the results return in 3 years...on Wear Tyne Coquet Till Ure ...and all others Simon Artley Manchester
no the fish make it to cowshill waterfall which is their limit thats a way upstream river wear is 58 miles long from cowshill to the sea most spawn below cowshill in feeder streams around hamsterley forest in bedburn beck and the main river-the dead end spot is under the bridge pillars how ever they also have another route you didnt see in the video a mechanical screw with denieil fish pass at the side where fish can even pass in low water. River wear is rated No 2 salmon river in england and wales behind the near by geordie newcastle Tyne.....so we is doing something right
Snatchers only fish when the river has extra water using a 14 ft fly rod sbnatchers who use a spin rod and theys no one left these days who does that would fish low water for sea trout as seeing salmon when waters at summer level requires know how when and where....snatchers get bad publicity but they dont take that many fish trust me i been a snatcher down durham for 44 years using both methods retired these days fish legal now the rivers salmon population has increased tgenfold due to 1980s 90s stocking
You won't get that footage this year , as it's been a disaster for the salmon run. As a local angler, I belive the salmon stocks are decimated. Worst year I've known in my lifetime.
BS wear stocks have been amazing in the 44 years ive fished the wear so too tees tyne esk and everything that flows into the river humber stop listening to vegans LGBGT and fake news
He would be wasting his time.. because it’s no big secret in Durham area. There is a free stretch just below this weir where blokes use lead core line and big trebles to snatch the big fish.. They can get up to 20+ fish a day and they sell them to the local pubs and restaurants for a pound per lb
@@TRAITOR--R0BlNSTIEN trebles that get used are size 6 one treble unlike legal anglers who use multiple hooks lead core is used in higher water heavy fly line lower water the worst snatchers are the ones who claim to be fishing legal-and by the way me and a mate were the ones who exposed the corrupt council e/a river trusts and angling clubs who illegally closed the ice rink / passport side of the river down....that water belongs to the people not the council who still refuse to answer the question who has the fishing rights........
@@TRAITOR--R0BlNSTIEN pubs dont buy fish restaurants dont buy either not in durham anyways most either give away their catch or eat them selves and the lads and lasses you refer to only really fish when the waters up with say 6-12 inches in any higher unfishable any lower not many fish....back in the day when sustainable rod caught salmon were allowed to be sole pubs food places all bought fish these days rod caught salmnon to be sold are ilegal E/A suggests we buy NETTED SALMON not sustainable eh
Great video but it is sad as the weir is stopping migration it needs to come out as they are doing all over north America at the moment.

I was feeling their pain every time one of fish hit the concrete. Weirs are bad fish barriers.
Get rid of the weir,it serves no useful purpose only to make it more difficult for fish migration.
Amazing footage!
Why do make it EVEN harder for them? Fish ladders NOW.
them small looking narrow bits of water are fish passes ? ok weirs should be removed but the council dean of cathedral who owns the weirs aint going to remove them in a hurry
That last weir near impossible that steep slope at the top, could be doing eith a fish pass .
Do you know anyone who fishes for pike in the Chester park stretch by any chance.
This looks incredible! Where is it?

It's the wear in Durham?
Sehr schöne Bilder .
Hello salam kenal dari Indonesia
Is there no salmon ladder, or do they have to wait until the river drops?

And that's why there's so little salmon left.
We need to rewild.
This was depressing to watch.

Atlantic salmon don't die after spawning
@@Moostafa78
Yes they do...a few survive but I see the remains of many kelts( spawned salmon) on the banks of rivers I fish in the spring.
@@simonartley1645 I never knew that
@@simonartley1645most of the survivors are females…. The males expend more energy in fighting so are more vulnerable
everyone commenting = Nice but the commentors dont know shit from yellow clay everyone is assuming🐟🐬🐋🐳🦈
Get rid of all weirs.
Exactly salmon are not as plentiful they need help getting past these weirs it's a beautiful sight to see a salmon leap up a weir
Ridiculous ill thought out barriers to migration- a wholly mess- poor fish
These Salmon are in desperate need of help to negotiate the weir, the environment agency should be ashamed!
They need to fix that one area. The salmon were jumping into spot that was basically a dead end.
no the fish make it to cowshill waterfall which is their limit thats a way upstream river wear is 58 miles long from cowshill to the sea most spawn below cowshill in feeder streams around hamsterley forest in bedburn beck and the main river-the dead end spot is under the bridge pillars how ever they also have another route you didnt see in the video a mechanical screw with denieil fish pass at the side where fish can even pass in low water.

Lucky fish.. they made it past the snatchers who poach them on the free stretch below that pool.

You should look into removing these! If you prefer fish over no fish for the future!
