River Welland Fish Pass Update and Monitoring Report 2014 River Welland fish pass update and monitoring report 2014 Tallington fish pass in early June after heavy rainfall. 1 River Welland Monitoring Report Executive Summary Fish and eel passes were installed during 2012/13 on two previously impassable structures, Tallington Gauging Weir and Duddington Mill Weir. To understand how effective the passes have been, underwater video monitoring was undertaken during the spring and summer of 2014. The monitoring has shown that the passes at Tallington and Duddington have provided effective fish passage over previously unassailable barriers. Despite the fact that the monitoring was undertaken outside of the peak migration periods for the main species in the River Welland, the results clearly show a range of species can utilise the passes in both an upstream and downstream direction. Species such as eels whose survival relies on the ability to freely migrate in and out of rivers into saline water are now using the passes regularly. This is vital to maintaining and increasing their numbers in the Welland system and beyond. Resident fish species such as chub and trout are also using the passes to move between river reaches and make best use of their now increased habitat range. This will greatly improve the resilience of fish stocks in the future on a river system that has suffered population declines. These results are encouraging given the short time the passes have been in place. As fish behaviour adapts a higher use of the passes by resident species will become more common. 2 River Welland Monitoring Report Introduction The aim of this report is to: Summarise the progress to date in terms of making existing obstructions passable to fish and eels; Assess the recent monitoring results from two newly installed fish passes on the River Welland; Tallington fish pass in Lincolnshire (pictured below) and Duddington fish pass in Northamptonshire; and Identify any future monitoring plans on the River Welland. Background The River Welland has been heavily modified throughout the centuries for navigation, water resource and flood defence purposes. These modifications saw numerous locks, sluices and weirs put in place within the river to alter, retain and change its flows and depths. When structures like these were installed then there is an instant change in the ability of a fish population to act naturally within their lifecycle characteristics. Fish migrate for a number of reasons, to spawn successfully in particular habitat conditions, to find food, to avoid drought and to access refuge and shelter. The building of one structure can prevent successful completion of fish life cycles. Anadromous fish species such as sea trout and salmon require the ability to swim up freshwater rivers to spawn. Catadromous species such as eels require the opposite, the ability to migrate out to the Atlantic to spawn and for their juveniles to be able to ascend the rivers again upon their arrival at the coast. Resident species in the river such as cyprinids (e.g. roach and dace) need the ability to move to freely around the river as part of their lifecycle characteristics. The key migration periods for fish species in the Welland catchment is as follows: Eel upstream migration – April to September inclusive. Eel downstream migration - October to December inclusive. Coarse fish migration - March to June inclusive. Brown trout migration - September to November inclusive. Sea trout migration – All Year (NB we will be narrowing down the critical period for sea trout with on-going monitoring) Lamprey migration - September – March inclusive. 3 River Welland Monitoring Report Existing Obstructions to fish and eel passage A number of key obstructions to fish passage were identified in the Welland catchment in 2011 as part of a catchment scale approach to improving the ecological status of the river. These obstructions comprise a mixture of weirs, locks and sluices which are shown on Figure 1 below. The aim has been to investigate and provide, if required, fish pass solutions for these obstructions. These fish passes are either delivered as standalone projects or tied into the refurbishment of these obstructions as part of maintenance schemes. As part of the catchment scale approach, these fish pass solutions compliment the wider ongoing works in the catchment. This includes measures to control diffuse / point source pollution and in channel works to enhance degraded river habitats. It is important to recognise that making these obstructions passable is not the total solution to improving fish stocks and the condition of the river so this holistic catchment approach is essential. 4 River Welland Monitoring Report Figure 1: Key Obstructions on the River Welland 5 River Welland Monitoring Report Progress to Date Of the obstructions identified in Figure 1, the following progress has been made with regard to providing fish passage: Table 1: Progress on fish pass design and construction Obstruction Watercourse Asset Design Complete / Construction Owner Planned Complete / Planned Surfleet Sluice River Glen EA Design underway: Construction planned in Automation and soft 2015/16 close doors Fulney Lock River Welland EA Design complete: Construction planned in Installation of 2015 penstock in tidal door Marsh Road Coronation EA Optioneering No construction Sluice Channel complete but no planned.

Other passes that were already in place in the Welland catchment before 2011 include Low Locks, High Locks, Wherry’s Mill, Fletland Mill, and Greatford Cottages. These are currently being investigated by the Fisheries, Biodiversity and Geomorphology team to ensure they are working efficiently and being maintained as required. 7 River Welland Monitoring Report Monitoring the success and efficiency of installed passes at Tallington and Duddington The fish and eel passes at Duddington and Tallington were constructed in 2012 / 13 to comply with the Eel Regulations 2009, the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975, and the Water Framework Directive. The fish pass at Duddington comprises a 5 m wide; 45m long pool traverse type fish pass. The eel pass at this site comprises 3 bristle type troughs, one extending the length of the pool traverse fish pass and the other 2 extending over the new weir sills. The fish pass at Tallington comprises a 0.6m wide, 7m long larinier type pass with a timber pre barrage downstream. Alongside this is a vertical brush eel pass.

    Welland Water Transfer A presentation to local councils and groups that may be affected by a proposal made by Ken Otter, the flood warden at Tallington. First presented December 16th 2020 Welland Water Transfer This presentation is in 3 parts. 1. The current position 2. The present situation 3. The latest proposal Thank you for attending. There will be an opportunity for questions after each part but if you need clarification please ask. Welland Water Transfer 1. The current position As we know, our local reservoir is Rutland Water. It is owned by Anglian Water and filled with water abstracted from local rivers under license (and at a cost) from the Environment Agency; the navigation authority for the Stamford to Folly River section of the Welland that we are concerned with. Welland Water Transfer To create the reservoir, the River Gwash was dammed up and it took about 3 years to fill. The River Gwash does help keep it topped up, but 95% of its water actually comes by pumping it in pipes from the River Welland and the River Nene. The map following is the area that affects us. Rutland Water to the Folly River The blue area covers the parish councils alongside the output from the reservoir. The southern edge is also the subject of the Langdyke Trust’s involvement with the John Clare Countryside project. The Folly River is in the bottom right corner. Welland Water Transfer What you see isn’t necessarily what you think! The River Welland here is a managed river. None of the flow is natural from Stamford.

  • The Welland Valley Partnership River Improvement Plan
    The Welland Valley Partnership Enhancing the River Welland Our invitation to support a new vision for the local environment January 2013 Foreword The Welland Valley Partnership - Working Together for a Better River The River Welland arises above Market Harborough and flows through the gently rolling countryside of Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Rutland until it reaches Stamford where it is one of the features that makes the town so attractive. Below Stamford the River continues on its way to Market Deeping and Spalding, where its character changes and the water slows down to become one of the four fenland rivers which drain the Fens and finally enter the Wash. People have relied on the Rivers for thousands of years for water, food, transport and energy; as a result the River Welland and its valley have changed enormously. Even the course of the River Welland has moved; it used to flow through the Trinity Bridge in Crowland, but now runs almost a mile away and the bridge is a dry monument in the centre of the town. Figure 1: Trinity Bridge at Crowland. This triangular bridge once provided a crossing place over two channels of the River Welland.

For example, land drainage and the extensive dredging of the River upstream of Stamford have left us with an over-widened and over-deepened channel with little of its historic character.

  • 656 16 Fish Population Survey Report
    Fish population summary report River Welland, 2017 This report provides a brief summary of results from recent fish population surveys on the River Welland between Market Harborough and Spalding. The surveys were carried out to assess the health of the river and enable successful management of our principal fisheries. Seaton weir rock ramp fish pass (part of several habitat improvements on the upper river). Originating team Lincolnshire & Northamptonshire Analysis & Reporting Team Author(s) Jake Reeds Date January 2018 Summary • Ten electric fishing sites were surveyed during 2017 along the upper Welland (above Peakirk). The wide river downstream of this between Crowland Bridge and Spalding was surveyed using hydroacoustic technology during the night when fish are more active. • Sixteen species of fish were recorded and a total of 1110 fish were captured for measurement in the upper river electric fishing sites. • Chub and dace were the most widespread species, being recorded at seven and six sites respectively. • Roach were the most numerous species. Site locations: © Environment Agency copyright 2018. All rights reserved. Ordnance Survey licence number 100024198. Sites varied between 100 - 200m in length, each site was isolated using stop nets at the upstream and downstream limit. It was then electric fished twice with fish being placed in a recovery tank immediately after capture. All fish are then identified for species, measured to fork length and returned to the river. Survey results - summary Fish density for fish greater than 99mm in length (fish/100mˉ²) from the electric fishing sites undertaken is shown below. Fish lengths for all sizes are given to indicate the overall size range found at the site.

We welcome the feedback and couldn’t disagree with any of the things that you said we could do better (many of them already on my guilt list) and delighted that this newsletter was one of the things that you all seem to like. See page 15 for a bit of a summary of your comments. For this issue we have taken on board the much-repeated comment that it would be nice to have advance warning of openings rather than just reading about them INSIDE afterwards. So read on for some imminent deadlines on Southrey, Four Mile Bar footbridge and a Tennyson Trail. We have also added in 4 extra Habitat Highways pages to this newsletter – also as requested. G We would like to welcome over 600 new readers to this newsletter – this New Bridge at Sleaford last quarter has seen the biggest increase to our database yet – and if G you are not on it, do fill in the coupon on page 12. Mary Powell Fish in our Rivers Bridge Over the Welland Delighted to be able to announce that the new Four Mile Bar footbridge was completed in the very early New Year. The reach of the River Welland available to larger craft has been limited by the former Four Mile Bar Bridge, which had the lowest air draught on the river at 1.6m.
