ref. Great Ouse
The river is navigable from the Wash to Kempston Mill, which is just beyond Bedford, a distance of 72 miles (116 km). This section includes 17 locks, which are maintained by the Environment Agency, who are the navigation authority and who attempt to attract more boaters to the river.
There was one at Kempston about 5 years ago ..... I know because it surfaced in my peg on a match on opening weekend.
It was trapped and taken back to the sea.
And there definitely aren't any salmon in the Great Ouse!!
