FOREWORD 

This is one of a series of annual reports providing a continuous 

.... statistical record of fish passage counts and related data at Corps , 

of Engineer dams on the Columbia and Snake Rivers. Data on other Corps' 

dams planned or under construction on these rivers will be incorporated 

into future reports as the dams are completed and placed in operation. 

A new table, Number 1, has been added in this report to summarize 

and relate by projects the counts of the more significant species 

passing counting boards at the main stem projects. References in the 

text to tables and charts by number is being reduced to a minimum thus 

placing more emphasis on use of the List of Tables in the contents. 

Daily counts of miscellaneous fish have been omitted but monthly 

summaries of these fish continue to be included. Semi-monthly statistics 

on use of individual ladders by the various species at established 

projects have been omitted, but annual summaries related to use of 

respective ladders by various species at all projects will remain in the 

report. 

Copies of the annual fish passage report are made available to 

biologists, State and Federal fisher,y departments, libraries and other 

agencies and individuals interested in these fisheries. The use of 

.. , information, data and other contents of this report is permissible 

provided credit for the source is given the Corps of Engineers . ..

A.N'NliAL REPORr OF THE PASSAGE OF FISH 

BONNEVILLE, THE DALLES, McNARY AND ICE HARBOR DAMS 

CALENDAR YEAR 1963 

BONNEVILLE DAM 

General 

1. A total of 1,049,223 fish were counted at Bonneville Dam in -= ..--

1963 including 481,728 salmonids and 567,495 miscellaneous or less < • 

important species. The most salmonidae to be counted in une'day at 

Bonneville was 17,346 on 6 September. Miscellaneous species moved in 

maximum abundance on 6 July when 23,473 shad and 1,703 other fish were 

recorded. 

2. A brief summary of salmonid counts is contained in the

3. More than 3/4 million visitors (819,831) entered the project, 

including a number of distinguished in fisher,y matters. 

Shad 

4. The 1963 run of 389,772 was second only to the all-time record 

run of 435,988 tallied in 1962. An intensive shad angling fisher,y 

developed locally during the time shad were abundant in the vicinity 

of the project. 

5. Curiously, adult shad did not remain in the ladder pools or 

above the powerhouse as long as in former years. Fourteen shad were 

counted as late as October 1963. The October count was exceeded only 

once by an October count of 21 in 1938. 

6. Priest Rapids recorded a 1963 count of 523 shad, Wanapum 13, 

Rock Island 2, and Rocky Reach none. 

Sturgeon 

7. Six sturgeon climbed the Bonneville ladders to the forebay. 

The 1962 Annual Report told of two large sturgeon being placed in the 

local hatcher,y pond. One nearly lost her tail as a result of rope 

inJur,y (see 1962 Annual Report), but the wound healed and the fish is 

now in good condition. The two attract a considerable amount of 

attention. 

8. Sturgeon taken from the Bonneville powerhouse draft tube 

stoplogs by the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service personnel were acclimated 

to salt water and successfully shipped to the Kobe, Japan aquarium via 

the ocean going vessel, Philippine Mail. 

2 
Bonneville Dam 

Squawfish 

9. Insofar as the Bonneville tally is concerned this species 

continues to diminish, and the 10,385 of 1963 is the lowest count ever 

recorded. 

Smelt 

10. Observable numbers of smelt have not reached Bonneville Dam 

since 1953. 

Lampreys 

11. A lamprey count of 87,937 was recorded. Average annual count 

is 101,395. 

Tench 

12. The 17 tench recorded during 1963 was considered most unusual. 

Fish Counting Schedule 1963 

1 Januar,y - 28 February - No counting was perfor.med. 

1 March - 31 March - Two counters on duty 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM. 

Gates closed at night. 

1 April - 26 October - Four counters on duty 4:00 AM - 8:00 PM. 

Gates closed at night. 

27 October - 17 November - Two counters on duty 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM. 

Gates open at night (nightime factor applied to counts). 

November 18 - November 30 - One counter on duty 8 hours per day at 

the Bradford Island station, while preparations were being made in 

the Washington ladder for the auxiliary water conduit experiment. 

1 December - 31 December - No counting perfor.med; gates remained 

open at all times. 

3 
Bonneville Dam 

13. Counting was conducted 50 minutes each hour; hence, a factor 

of 1.2 was applied to the count to compensate for any fish passing during 

the 10 minute rest period. 

WaShington Shore Fishwgr Inspection, Overhaul & MOdification 

14. As a continuation of the work which was begun late in the fall 

of 1962" water was removed from diffusion chambers 14 through 17 to 

facilitate valve overhaul. At the same time" all wooden post baffles 

from diffusion chambers 13, 14" 15" 16" and 17 were supplanted with 

monolithic concrete pillars. 

15. In late December of 1962 and early Januar.y 1963" two 6 inch 

holes were bored between diffusion chamber 20 and the south fishlock to 

serve as drain ports from the inter-connected diffusion chambers to the 

pumps in the south fishlock. To expedite the diamond drilling of the 

6-inch holes through the wall" a 2O-inch deep pump sump was chipped in 

the bottom of diffusion chamber No. 20. 

16. Following these alterations and restorations, the Washington 

Shore ladder was reactivated 28 Januar.y. 

17. It was drained again 18 November in preparation for the December 

1963 auxiliar.y-water-conduit-fingerling study; 150 to 160 steelhead were 

carefUlly lifted from the ladder into a tank of water and released into 

the forebay. 

18. While the north shore screen pit equalization chamber was 

emptied for installation of fingerling deliver.y hoses, new seals were 

installed on radial valves 3 and 4.

Powerhouse Collection System Inspection & Overhaul & Operation 

19. Stoplogs were placed at the downstream end of the powerhouse 

f'ishlock approach channel. Thereafter the 'Water 'Was removed by pumps 

and all steel structures were sandblasted, cleaned and repainted. Radial 

Valve 3 was taken to the sandblast shed for cleaning. All worn diffusion 

grating 'Was renewed. All segmental and closure gates of the powerhouse 

fishlock were cleaned, repaired, and fitted with new seals wherever 

necessary. The area 'WaS restored to normal operating condition 16 

January 1963. 

20. Powerhouse chambers 14 through 17 were drained 25 January for 

valve overhaul. All timber diffusion baffles were removed from powerhouse diffusion chambers 14 through 22 during Februe.ry. Observations 

were made the follOwing year on the entrance conditions of auxiliary 

water with both low and high 'Water and the distribution was found to be 

uniform ~th no excessive turbulence noted. 

21. Rewiring of the north powerhouse fishlock 'WaS accomplished 

during February. By 1 March all fish'Ways were back in normal operation. 

22. The powerhouse fishlock was used as a fingerling by-pass 

during April, and continued to function as such until June. 

23. On 23 May one panel of I-inch spaced metal gratings was installed at the Bradford. Island auxiliary water intake location. Before 

the end of the year (24 October) similar panels had been placed in all 

stationary screen slots at the Bradford. Island and the Powerhouse intake 

locations. 

24. From 25 March until 27 June, while vast numbers of fingerling 

salmon were migrating downstream, the Bradford Island and Powerhouse 

5 
Bonneville Dam 

aux1l.iazy water radial. val.ves were closed at night to preclude mortal.ity 

on the statioIlB.ZY screens. 

25- Three powerhouse collection system transportation flow vel.ocity 

indicators were renovated and re-installed during September. 

Bradf'ord Isl.and "B" Branch COll!Ponent Inspection & Overhaul 

26. The south spillway auxillazy water screens were re-activated 

28 February" f'ollowing repair. The area had been drained 15 Februazy. 

27. The powerhouse branch f'ishway had been stoplogged and drained 

15 February al.so. 

28. A diver on l.4 October discovered a crack in the wall between 

Bay 17 and 18. When the opening in the pier nose had been closed several 

years ago, a def'icient batch of' concrete had been poured and subsequent~ 

eroded to show a f'ault in the closure. 

29. Tailwater gauge boards were af'f'ixed to vertical walls at the 

south end of' the powerhouse, the l.ower end of' the Bradf'ord Isl.and "B" 

Branch ladder, and at the north shore ladder. Heretof'ore, f'ishway inspectors could not determine tail.water levels at these sites. 

Special Fishe;r Iuvestigations and Notations. 

30. The U. S. Fish Be Wil.dlif'e Service continued experiments with 

their large net at Unit 9. Several exploratory tests of' equipment were 

made, but no cOll!Plete mortality studies were conducted. 

31. In l.ate April" the U. S. Fish and Wildlif'e Service trapped 

1,179 adult spring chinooks, and hauled them to the Carson Hatchery and 

to the Will.ard Laboratory f'or artif'icial spawning. 

32. Submerged counting stations were successful~ tested again at

... 

Bonneville Dam 

the North Shore Laboratory. The fish go through these underwater passes 

with no evidence of fear. 

33. When the partial eclipse of the sun occurred on 23 July, the 

fish counters noted a diminution in the rate of movement across the 

counting boards. 

34. Biologists of the northwest are watching the development of a 

large Indian set-gill-net fishery between Bonneville and MCNary, with 

considerable concern. These nets captured a sizeable proportion of the 

escapement above Bonneville. 

Auxilia;r water supply experiments Washington shore Fish Ladder 

35. After rather elaborate preparations during the summer and fall 

of 1963 a study was begun in December to learn the effects of fingerling passage through the Washington Auxiliary water conduit system. By 

erecting special barriers, the fish were excluded from areas where they 

would be lost. Diffusion chambers 16 and 17 were covered with plywood 

to prevent such loss, and to promote recovery of almost all of the fish. 

Yearling coho salmon were directed into the auxiliary water conduit from 

several points: (1) in front of Radial Valve 3, (2) behind Radial Valve 

3, (3) from the valve pit or well, and (4) from the equalization chamber. 

A large funnel type net, formerly used at Shasta Dam was fitted into one 

of the collection bay entrances to receive the fingerlings and concentrate them in the sanctuary of the live-box attached to the downstream end of the webbing. (See photo 2-B). In addition to the test 

fish, various groups of control fish were also used. The net recovered 

a large percentage of both units. 

7 
Bonneville Dam 

36. Tests were conducted at 3, 5, 7, and 11 p.s.i. o~ di~~erential 

pressure. Lower pressures were experienced than had been anticipated. 

3T. A report o~ the results o~ the experiment is scheduled to 

be made to the Culumbia Basin Fisher,y Technical Committee during 1964. 

38. A number of colors of fluorescent pigments were tested experimentally While tattooing fish at Coleman Hatcher,y for the Shasta Dam 

experiment, November 1962. The results were so impressive the study 

continued throughout the spring, summer and fall of 1963 at Bonneville 

with Corps of Engineers and U., S. Fish and Wildlife Service Biologists 

participating. Thousands of fingerling salmon were tattooed with 

various colors of fluorescent materials during the Corps of Engineers 

Conduit tests (see Photo 3-B) and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife turbine 

studies in December of 1963. The photoluminescent materials are vastly 

superior to earlier tattoo substances in that the marks last for 6 

months or more and are visible under Ultraviolet light when almost all 

of the pigment is washed out and when the eyes of the observer can no 

longer see traces of the colored material in daylight. Efforts are also 

being made to encapsulate dif~erent phosphorescent color particles in 

a biologically inert resin for use as a tattoo marking powder. In 

addition, Crown Zellerbach, USF&WL and Corps o~ Engineers Biologists 

have used the new "rediscovered" (antifreeze) solvent: Dimethyl-Sulfoxide--

DMSO--to carr,y fluorescent and non-fluorescent pigments into the fins, 

eyes skin, and flesh of fingerling salmon. This ver,y promising study 

continues.

40. A total of 872,420 fish were counted at The Dalles Dam in 1963 

including 360,599 salmonids and 511,821 miscellaneous or less important 

species. The salmon count was comprised of 180,969 chinook, 56,931 

blueback, 3,716 silver, 3 humpback, 23 chum, and 118,957 steelhead. The 

maximum daily count of salmonids was 7,479 on 7 September. The greatest 

number of all fish counted in one day was 18,343 on 6 July and included 

13,493 fish of miscellaneous species of Which 9,917 were shad and 

295 were lamprey. The peak day for lamprey was 27 July with a count of 

4,638. 

41. There were 326,700 visitors recorded at The Dalles Project in 

1963 

Shad 

42. Although the 1963 run was smaller than that of 1962, the count 

of 160,958 shad passing The Dalles Dam was large in comparison with 

earlier years. This total represents 41.3% of the 389,772 counted at 

Bonneville. Large numbers of shad were observed for a time in front 

of the spillway and on the upperside of the navigation locks tainter 

gate, but could not be detected in the forebay or in the East Ladder 

as late as in 1962. 

Sturgeon 

43. Sturgeon were observed in the ladders, but none went across the 

counting boards during the time counters were on duty. However, they 

were seen leaping in the waters of the Cul de sac as in previous years.

The Dalles 1963 fish counting schedule 

No counting was performed 1 January - 31 March 

Full time counting was performed 1 April - 26 October 

No counting was performed 27 October - 31 December. 

44. During period designated as "no counting" the fish counting 

gates remained open and fish were free to pass upstream at all times. 

During periods of "full time counting" tabulation took place sixteen 

hours per day at each station. A factor of 1.2 was applied to compensate 

for the passage of fish during the 10-minute rest period each hours. 

Gates remained open during the 10-minute rest period each hour but were 

closed at night. No night-time factor was applied. 

Fish Facilities Inspection, Alterations, and Operations. 

45. The East ladder was drained 22 January preparatory to inspection 

of the powerhouse collection system. No steelhead were found, but approximately 30 very dark lampreys were removed and released into tailwater. 

46. later in January a diver cleaned the powerhouse stoplog slots 

and aided in placement of the bottom log in preparation for repair of the 

long powerhouse collection system. After unwatering the complex on 

2 February all components were found to be intact and only minor maintenance details were necessary. The facilities were returned to operation 

27 February 1963· 

47. In March, a University of Washington Fisheries Research group 

began preparation for a Spring Chinook Photo-Tropism Study. Special 

lights were arranged at the south spillway fishway entrance and along 

the transportation channel. An extra fish counting station was erected 

12

The Dalles Dam 

from whiCh the number of fish entering the interior or transportation 

channel from the south spi11~ entrance were counted. Lights were 

turned on and off in a pattern designed to give statistically significant results. The work continued through 29 May, but the University 

group has not yet published a report. 

48. Immediately after Fishwater Unit F-1 went out of service 

5 September, due to a faulty breaker, the fish facilities were adjusted 

for a one unit operation. Unavoidable difficulty in obtaining a replacement breaker delayed reactivation of this turbine and generator 

until after the end of the year. 

49. A power outage at the East Fish Ladder Complex at 12: 10 on 

21 September necessitated forebay level regulation to maintain proper 

flows in the East Ladder However, power was restored within 7 1/2 

hours. 

50. The enlarged shade over the counting and visitor's area 

at the North shore counting station was a very notable improvement, 

both to the counters and to the visiting public. 

51. The North Ladder was drained 10 December to permit maintenance and repairs. A small amount of debris was removed and three 

auxiliary water valves were replaced, but very little additional work 

was necessary . 

52. Indians practiced the art of dipnetting on both shores 

below the dam. Gulls were frequently noted feeding below the spillway.

McNARY DAM 

General 

54. A total of 6ll,633 fish were counted at McNary Dam in 1963 

including 330,962 salmonids and 280,671 miscellaneous or less important 

species. The salmon count was comprised of 154,459 chinook, 59,744 

blueback, 3,133 silvers, and ll3,646 steelhead. No chum salmon were 

tallied in 1963. The maximum daily count of salmonids was 6,504 on 

11 September, which, incidentally, has been the peak date of the fall 

run for three years of the past ten at McNary with the peak for all ten 

falling within the period 10-17 September. 

55. Suckers were predominant among the miscellaneous species. The 

number of miscellaneous fish counted over the ladders has been on a 

general decline since 1955 dropping from about 71% of the total count 

to 47~ at present. A total of 9,015 shad were tabulated in 1963, the 

second highest annual count. The combined maximum daily count of all 

species was 7,814 on 5 July. 

56. A total of 97,400 visitors were recorded at McNary Dam during 

the year 1.963. 

McNa;r 1963 Fish Counting Schedule 

57. No counting was performed 1 January - 31 March. 

58. Sample counting was performed 1 April - 31 July in four hour 

periods, alternating between counting stations, 16 hours daily. The 

gates of the ladder where the last daily four hour shift was spent were 

closed from 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM PST the next d~ when the first shift 

opened them. The opposite ladder remained open during this time. 

1.5 
59. Full time counting was performed 1 August - 31 October, 4:00 AM 

to 8:00 PM, with counting stations closed to fish passage at night but 

left open during counter rest periods. All counts during the counting 

season were factored according to the amount of non-counting time the 

stations were open but unattended. No counting was performed 1 November -

31 December. Both ladders were open to free fish passage at all times 

of no count except during inspection and maintenance of the Washington 

shore ladder from 18 November - 16 December. 

Fish Locks 

60. Operating machinery for the pressure fish lock and the 

Washington fish lock was removed during the year in accordance with 

scheduled modification of the McNary fish facilities for operation after 

John Day pool is raised. 

Fish Facilities Repair and Overhaul 

61. No major maintenance was required on the Washington fish ladder 

when it was unwatered in December. The Washington fish lock eqUipment 

was removed at that time and the associated gravity water supply conduit 

was sealed off. Conduit No. 3 of the Washington shore gravity water supply 

system was also sealed off. This conduit supplied the auxiliary manifold 

which was supposed to break up the eddy in front of the ladder entrances 

during periods of high spill. The facility did not operate as intended 

was not used, and could not be used under the increased tailwater to be 

created by John Day Dam.

63. The supplementary spawning channel built in 1957 and. operated 

by the Washington Department of Fisheries, under contract with the Corps 

of Engineers, continued in operation during 1963. Maintenance of the 

channel was performed by Corps of Engineers personnel. No major revisions 

were made this year. 

F1sh!!y Qperatlon and. Maintenance Costs 

64. The total cost of fishway operation and. maintenance in 1963 

was $144,734.52.

ICE HARBOR DAM 

General 

65. A total. of 429,875 f'ish were counted over Ice Harbor Dam in 

1963 including 138,780 salmonids and 291,095 miscellaneous or less 

important species. The salmon count was comprised of 61,190 chinook, 

1,118 blueback, 1,933 silvers and 74,539 steelhead. The maximum daily 

count of salmonids was 3,640 on 27 September. The combined maximum 

daily count of all species was 6,979 on 15 June including 5,892 suckers 

which species predominated in this years count of' miscellaneous species. 

66. Chinook jacks or grilse are not tallied separately but are 

included in all chinook counts at Ice Harbor Dam. 

67. A total. of' 71, 300 visitors were recorded at Ice Harbor Dam 

in 1963. 

Ice Harbor 1963 Fish Counting Schedule 

68. No counting was performed 1 Janua.:ry - 31 March. 

69. Counting was performed on 16 hour per day basis, 4 AM to 8 PM 

1 April - 31 October. Counting stations were closed at night but left 

open during counter rest periods. 

70. Counting was performed on eight hour per day basiS, 8 AM to 

4 PM 1 November - 30 November. Counting stations were opened during 

rest periods, but closed from 4 PM to 8 AM. 

71. Counting was performed 1 December - 31 December, 8 AM to 4 PM. 

Schedule al.ternated daily between 8 hours counted on each ladder and a 

split-shift f'our hours per day on each ladder.

Ice Harbor Dam 

72. During periods of no counting, both ladders were open to free 

passage except as follows: 

73. North shore ladder out of operation for removal of divider 

screens 17 January - 30 January. South shore ladder out of operation 30 

January - 21 February for removal of divider screen. 

Counting Stations 

74. Large awnings were placed over both counting stations and 

immediate visitor areas. In addition to providing more comfort for the 

visi tors, the awnings prevented direct sunlight from striking the 

counting board. The location of the counting stations prevented the 

use of small covers over the board alone, as is used at McNary Dam, to 

eliminate sunlight from the board and still give good visibility to 

counter and visitors both. Photo 2-m. 

Trash Boom 

75. Upstream from the dam about one-half mile a floating log boom 

extends diagonally across and up the river approXimately two-thirds of 

the way across the forebay. This log boom collects and guides floating 

debris to a point on the south shore where it is lifted from the water 

by a conveyer for removal and disposal. During the downstream migration 

period for young salmonids, sport fishermen had considerable luck by 

drifting downstream along the boom. Both Juvenile and adult steelhead 

were caught there in greater numbers than an;ywhere else in the nearby 

area. See photos 3-m, 4-m, and 5-m. 

19 
Ice Harbor Dam 

Special Fishery Investigations 

76. SOnic tagging studies to trace the pattern of movement of 

adul.t steelhead trout and chinook salmon through the forebay continued 

in 1963. A number of fall chinook salmon were tagged with the sonic 

transmitter tags and recorded at several. stationary recording sites as 

far upstream as the proposed Lower Grant te pool area. The signal was 

received and recorded as the fish swam upstream past the stationary 

sites. 

77. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service installed equipment on 

the downstream face of the tailrace deck on which to attach a net to 

estimate mortality to downstream migrant salmonids paSSing through a 

turbine at Ice Harbor Dam. 

Fishway Operation and Maintenance Cost 

78. The total cost of fishway operation and maintenance in 1963 

was $82,948.
