Trout Traffic Accidents

Why it's so hard for trout to
get over the falls
After several spirited leaps without
success a trout just plain gets tired! This high-flying female is too tired to keep her
body well controlled. She'll go rest in a quiet backwater for awhile, then try again.
Notice the huge brown trout in the waterfall stream right under her. Not even a fish this
size can swim from the bottom to the top. It's not so much they are not strong enough, but
rather that they can't get enough "traction" in the thin water of the fall
stream.
