I came across this Salmon Ladder whilst out on a bimble on the River Yarty - Just thought I would share it.

The one thing I'm not too sure of its inclusion is in the 1st photo on the far left hand side is a narrow chute of castellation's -Its clearly a more modern addition to the ladder and I'm thinking it maybe an updated modification for Eels? If anyone ( suitably qualified through knowledge or experience ) can confirm, please feel free.

I'm pretty sure you're right and that's an eel ladder :cool: They need something to work with against the current, so bristles or pegs....and your photo looks like pegs. They just wriggle their way around and upwards :)

Lovely photos :D

I may need to pop back when Salmon and Eels migrate.
