Following lunch at The Anchor in Diglis, a number of members visited the Diglis Island and Fish Pass. Fortunately the weather was kind to us as we took a walking guided tour around Diglis Island. It is a fascinating place to visit with lots of industrial heritage to both hear about and see. The tour finished with a visit to the Fish Pass at Diglis Weir. Built to help fish migrate and move upstream, this important project has helped endangered fish such as shad. Our guide was excellent in explaining how the fish pass works and entertained us whilst we waited for the elusive fish to show themselves at the viewing. A dace did eventually show itself so we could happily say we had seen a live fish at the Pass! It was a great afternoon and I am sure some of us will return to the Pass when the shad and salmon begin their migratory travels.
