Salmon fails to jump weir below Hexham Bridge
Record numbers of salmon have been recorded in the River Tyne, making it the best river for the species in England and Wales. Hexham road bridge weir NY9464 : Weir on River Tyne below Hexham Bridge is thought to be a threat to salmon's ability to progress up river because wartime gravel extraction has increased the height difference. There is a proposal to install a fish pass for the 2012 season Link

Ok, I know it's 'spot the salmon' but after 30 minutes wait and many photos of just water, this was my best effort.
A £100,000 green energy prize was awarded in December 2011 for a community based hydro scheme to generate electricity at the weir below Hexham Bridge Link Link (Archive Link )
