Why it's so hard for trout to get over the falls

This little fall off to the left of the main fall proves impossible to climb for almost all trout, large or small. It has too much of a lip and the water is too shallow at the top. It is too high to leap, and too shallow to swim. But that does not stop the trout from trying, and try they do. Yet most seem to figure out it's impossible to climb this one and they soon move around to the main fall. A very few do make it by swimming violently at the top - if they make it that far.
