GATESIDE MILL WEIR FISH BARRIER REMOVED:

SEPA and their contractors have made an excellent job removing the Gateside Mills weir on time. In the dry hot low water years we are now seeing all too often this weir as a barrier to Salmon, sea Trout and Brown Trout accessing the head water spawning burns. The weir has gone and has been replaced with a series of deep pools formed from weir bedrock and quarried stone. This makes easy access in low water. This should benefit angling prospects for the Eden in the years to come
