Each autumn and spring one can see an exciting phenomenon here, as the fish try to clear the rapid by jumping over it. About 300 years ago, Jacob, the Duke of Courland, invented a way to catch with baskets placed along the rapid the fish that came upstream to breed and jumped across the rapid. Due to these fishing devices invented by Duke Jacob, Kuldīga used to be called to be a town where you can catch salmon in the air. One could catch as many as 80—100 salmon a day.

Never saw that before.
Nice!

Now thats a sight.

Yeah, me too. I heard about it, but never get on a place into a right time. Finally I was rewarded this spring!

They should watch your drone footage to see that they always start their jump early.

Wow, amazing footage Dimi.

Thanks buddy! Glad you liked it!

A great view !   Catching salmon at this point may have been easy, but since they're on their way upstream to their breeding grounds, not a good moment in their life-cycle to thin out their numbers.

I assume they are trout that are migrating?

Exactly! It's strictly forbidden during this times.
