Colder month fish are not as mobile and eat slower and bigger meals and do not burn the enegry
Also fish sitting closer to the weirs over a givin time will likely be fatter depending on there movement compared to a trou up north ?
So saying fish are fatter or better health with weirs open or closed is not telling me anything
Unless you sit and catch every fish at weir !!
Trout move miles everyday
I can show you this summer when I caught 45 trout all soild 2-4lb trout and next day 45 dinks non over 3lbs on same spot same tide ?
