Elvers? (1 Viewer)

Hi

An amazing visit to Frampton Marsh also included a sight we had never seen before. Hundreds of small transparent “fish” jumping out of the water and wiggling up a drainage pipe.

Unfortunately we could not get a good shot with the types of camera we use. The only think I can think of is there were elvers, can any one help?

Thanks

They look more like the fry of something like Trout, I doubt that Eels jump?

Years ago, whilst working in St Catherine's Dock in London, I saw thousands of Elvers in the dock, just clinging to the side walls.
