On a rainy Monday evening two gregarious goodgymers gathered to assess the freeways of fish. There are various types of fish passes on the weirs on the River Don which allow fish to migrate upstream. Our job tonight was to make sure that these paths past the stone obstacles were easily accessible and able to fulfill their intended roles.

We ran to four weirs and noted down the conditions of the different types of pass on each one to report back to the DCRT, alongside pictures for their records. The weirs we surveyed were Lady's Bridge, Walk Mill, Burton's and Sanderson's.

After running a reyt respectable distance river reviewing we headed back to the Showroom where we stretched off and debriefed.
