Weir Wonderings

...
Has anyone had any experience with small fish swimming over, or being
swept over, weirs? Do they generally tend to stay away from
unexpected fast-moving currents "into the unknown abyss", or do they
instead tend to like to play with "weir roulette"? I am specifically
thinking right now of mosquito fish, but if anyone has experience with
larger fish, that would be of interest to me as well.

Thank you very much,
David


Without a doubt, they play weir roulette. The extent varies by the size
of the water body (smaller=more jumps), the water conditions (bad=more
jumps), food conditions and if they see-feel-sense water or movement on
the other side of the weir. Think about salmon making their way upriver.
It's natural.
