This is perty cool. Gives ya sumpthin to do to kill time. And you can see a catfish from time to time. A lil bout it.... In 1999, a fishway was constructed at Bosher's Dam, providing fish with access to 137 miles of the James River and 168 miles of its tributaries for the first time in nearly 200 years. A camera at the fishway provides visitors a peek into this incredible journey as the fish return to spawn in the spring. www.dgif.virginia.gov/fishing/shadcam/You can open up a one view or two view or three view inna pop up screen. Heres anuther one>> fairmountwaterworks.com/fishcam.php |

The 3 way popup didn't work so good for me. Guess its the popup blocker. The single on the page works great.
The majority of fish species will ascend the fishway during the day while catfish species and sea lamprey will primarily move upstream at night. Spawning runs of anadromous fish in Virginia generally occur between March and early June.
I will watch it tonight. I want to see the catfish.

I just saw a fish. It was too far away to tell what it looked like. It was about the size of those slash thingies on the screen. But it was moving up and then disappeared
