TABLE 3 and TABLE 4 

STEELHEAD OVER COLUMBIA AND SNAKE RIVER DAMS 1953-2005 

BY RUN-YEAR (JUNE 1 - MAY 31) 

Information Below Concerns the Following Two Tables 

Estimating the size of the upriver steelhead run has previously been hampered 

because of the calendar year approach used in the summary tables. Problems in 

accountability arise due to over wintering behavior of summer steelhead, especially 

Snake River stocks, which often have sizeable proportions of the run remaining 

below mainstem projects during the winter months. Movement of these steelhead 

commences again the following spring when warming reservoir temperatures trigger 

upstream movement. For this reason, an additional table has been prepared that 

summarizes steelhead trout counts at each project on a "fish year” basis: June 1 - 

May 31. Because all stocks of steelhead cross Bonneville Dam during the calendar 

year, those summary counts have not been modified. 

Footnotes for the Following Two Tables 

*Because counting started at each dam early in the year after construction was 

complete, these figures are for the latter part of the run year only. That part of the 

run year starting after June 1st of the previous 'year passed the dams without 

being counted. 

**1981 was the last year visual counts were made at Little Goose Project until 

1991.

FISHWAY ACTIVITIES

United States Geological Survey (USGS) monitored the behavior, distribution, and passage 

of yearling chinook, steelhead, and subyearling chinook at Bonneville Lock and Dam. 

With this information, USGS addressed fish passage efficiency (FPE), corner collector 

efficiency, fish guidance efficiency (FGE), and route specific survival through the project. 

PNNL and BAE Systems conducted an evaluation of FPE for the entire project and FGE 

for turbine units at Powerhouse Two. Hydroacoustic transducers were mounted to cover 

all major passage routes. 

USDA-APHIS-WS conducted hazing activities on piscivorous birds from 21 March 

through 22 July. Non-lethal hazing techniques included 15 mm screamer shells, cracker 

shells, and rockets. 

The Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC) again used the second 

powerhouse Adult Fish Facility (AFF) to collect salmonids. Fish scales were sampled (to 

determine age) and biological data collected. The work helps satisfy a requirement of the 

U.S. - Canada Pacific Salmon Treaty to identify "indicator stocks". These stocks are 

monitored to annually evaluate the success of a program designed to rebuild depressed 

Columbia River salmon populations. All fish were immediately returned to the fish ladder. 

CRITFC also took on the task of collecting adult steelhead in the AFF. They trapped 

steelhead to determine the number and timing of ESA listed steelhead stocks passing 

Bonneville Dam. The study also assessed stock composition at Bonneville and in the treaty 

fishery. The study is required by the U.S. v. Oregon Technical Advisory Committee 

(TAC) which included NMFS and USFWS. All fish trapped were immediately returned to 

the fish ladder. 

10
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) collected and tagged chum in the 

AFF. This study is to determine stock identification and to track the fish to the spawning 

grounds. 

University of Idaho continued to radio tag and track chinook and steelhead at Bonneville. 

Data collected is used to assess fallback rates, passage times and routes, and survival of 

salmonids through hydro-facilities as they continue to the Snake River. 

The Fish Passage Center continued to coordinate a fishway inspection program that 

involved monthly fishway inspections by a NOAA Fish inspector at Bonneville. 

Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) used the juvenile bypass system fish 

sampling facilities at Bonneville Second Powerhouse to monitor passage of downstream 

migrants. PH2 JBS work included pit tag sampling and smolt indexing. PH2 sampling 

ended on 31 October. 

PSMFC continued to maintain adult PIT tag detection in all fishways. 

NOAA Fisheries marked lamprey for evaluation of a lamprey adult passage system (LAPS) 

in the AWS channel at Bradford Island. The passage system included pit tag detectors and 

a counter to monitor and track lamprey movements. 

NOAA Fisheries and Battelle tagged juvenile steelhead for survival comparisons between 

barge release sites at Skamania Landing and Astoria, Oregon. 

The following agencies participated at Bonneville Dam in the BPA funded Northern 

Pikeminnow management and research program. Pikeminnows are predators on juvenile 

salmonids and are believed to cause significant impact, particularly at locations such as the 

first powerhouse forebay, because prey and predators collect in large numbers. 

•The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) sampled pikeminnow populations 

in many areas in the Columbia River including areas within Bonneville’s boat restricted 

zones. Pikeminnow were collected by electrofishing from boats. ODFW is evaluating 

effectiveness of population control measures. 

•The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife implemented the sport reward fishery. 

The WDFW and ODFW cooperated in conducting special fish counting again this year to 

estimate passage for tule and bright stock fall chinook. The numbers are used for inseason predictions and to assess final run size. This program was implemented in 1979. 

The WDFW counted adult fish under contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 

Fish were counted according to the schedule above for 50 minutes of each hour. The 50 

minute totals were multiplied by a factor of 1.2 to estimate passage for each full hour.

TABLE 24

MONTHLY COUNT OF LAMPREY at

BONNEVILLE DAM 19391

 - 1969, 1997 - 2005

Information concerning the lamprey count table.

The counts in the following table can be considered an approximation of trends, only. Lamprey are difficult

animals to count in that they move back and forth in front of the fish count window. They also spend long

periods of time resting. Lamprey also are more likely to pass at night than are salmon and for most of the 

years, fish counting took place only in the daytime. Further, during the 1970s, the count station was 

changed from a flash board counting system in which the fish passed over a white board to a vertical slot 

system in which the fish pass through a lighted window. This change could have made a difference in 

the counts. In addition, it is known that lamprey do not always use the fish ladder and may pass over a dam

through several routes including the navigation lock and the auxillary water supply.

FISH RELATED DEWATERINGS 

FISHWAY DEWATERING PROCEDURES 

Bulkheads are installed and drain valves open to dewater various areas of fishways. 

Fisheries personnel enter these areas to salvage fish that become entrapped. Minimal 

handling of fish is applied. Fish that are reluctant to vacate an area are captured and 

transported to the forebay or tailwater, depending on circumstances such as fish species, 

age class and stress levels. A follow up inspection is made to account for possible 

missed fish. Efforts are made to provide continual water supply during the entire 

operation to reduce fish stranding. Fishway areas not included on this list are inspected 

by divers. 

 

Fishway Dewaterings 

North ladder (2/2) – Annual inspection and maintenance. Nineteen lamprey provided 

to Umatilla tribe for restocking efforts. Four adult steelhead and 1 juvenile steelhead 

removed and released to river. 

East ladder (12/5) – Annual inspection and maintenance. Seven adult steelhead, 1 

adult Chinook, approx. 20 shad, 10 lamprey, and 10 miscellaneous resident fish 

removed and released to river. 

South entrance (12/8) – Annual inspection and maintenance. Approximately 25 

lamprey were removed and released to river. Two lamprey mortalities found atop 

grating next day. 

Collection and transportation channels (12/8) – Annual inspection and maintenance. 

Fifty-five lamprey, 1 small sturgeon, 1 carp, and 7 steelhead removed from junction 

pool and released to river. Four steelhead removed from transportation channel and 

released to river. 

Fishway Dives 

North and east fishway ROV(8/9) – Annual mid season inspection. Grating found 

loose at unit 18-1 in collection channel. Diffuser left closed and repair planned for 

winter outage. 

 

TURBINE DEWATERING PROCEDURES 

Turbine dewatering for routine maintenance usually involves low numbers of fish, due to 

operational guidelines. If a turbine unit fails, operational guidelines cannot always be 

followed, which usually results in higher numbers of fish entrapment. Removal of fish 

from these areas has a greater fish stress risk due to handling. Procedures are continually 

analyzed to determine the best method for preventing fish stress or loss. Fish are 

removed from scroll case and draft tubes by fish bags. If numbers of fish are higher than 

two bags, transport tanks are placed in the draft tube gallery for transport by crane. Fish 

are released to tailwater either with bag and rope or tank and crane. 

40
TURBINE DEWATERINGS 

Main turbine unit 16 (2/2) – Routine maintenance. No fish in scroll case or draft tube. 

Fish turbine units (2/12) – Routine maintenance. No fish in scroll case or draft tube. 

Main turbine unit 15 (5/2) – Scroll only, no fish 

Main turbine unit 18 (5/12) – Routine maintenance. No fish found in scroll case. Two 

sturgeon and 2 

catfish removed from draft tube and released to river. 

FISHWAY INSPECTION COMPARISON 

Three adult fishway inspections are conducted per day during the adult fish passage 

season (March 1 to November 31). One adult fishway inspection is conducted per day 

during the non- passage season. Items shown in italics are inspected once per day. All 

other items are inspected during every fishway inspection. Guidelines are provided by 

the COE Fish Passage Plan. Weekly fishway status reports are provided throughout the 

year. Inspections of the John Day Smolt Monitoring Facility are made once per two 

hours, 24 hours per day during the juvenile sampling season (April 1 to Sept 15). SMF 

status reports are included in the weekly fishway status report. Increased or continual 

problem areas indicated in bold. Values are rounded to the nearest whole percent.

Discussion 

Overall there was an improvement to criteria operation of all fishway equipment. This is 

largely due to automation improvements over recent years. The collection channel 

velocity continues to be a problem at the east 10% of the channel. Velocity meter 

calibration has also been a problem. A single velocity meter is located in this slow section 

of the channel. Diffusers were adjusted within limits in attempts to correct. This is now 

considered a design deficiency and cannot be operationally corrected. Investigation of 

University of Idaho adult radio telemetry data did not reveal a fish passage problem in 

this area. The velocity meter will continue to be calibrated and used. However, float 

velocity tests will be done in 2006 to provide a better understanding of velocities through 

the entire channel. 

COUNT ACTIVITY 

Visual fish counting was conducted 4/1/05 to 10/31/06 by Washington Dept of Fish and 

Wildlife contract. Counts were sent electronically directly to data base. 

WATER QUALITY 

Temperature continues to be read from station service penstock at The Dalles. Water 

clarity continues to be read by secchi dish at count stations. Fishway water temperatures 

are logged 24hrs/day during passage season and results provided with weekly fishway 

status reports.

FISH RELATED DEWATERINGS 

FISHWAY DEWATERING PROCEDURES 

Bulkheads are installed and drain valves open to dewater various areas of fishways. 

Fisheries personnel enter these areas to salvage fish that become entrapped. Minimal 

handling of fish is applied. Fish that are reluctant to vacate an area are captured and 

transported to the forebay or tailwater, depending on circumstances such as fish species, 

age class and stress levels. A follow up inspection is made to account for possible 

missed fish. Efforts are made to provide continual water supply during the entire 

operation to reduce fish stranding. Fishway areas not included on this list are inspected 

by divers. 

Fishway Dewaterings 

South ladder (1/11) – Annual inspection and maintenance. Approximately 8 juvenile 

steelhead, 1 lamprey, and 1 carp removed and released to river. 

South entrance (1/13) – Six juvenile steelhead, 3 adult steelhead, 3 lamprey, and 1 carp 

removed and released to river. Remainder of collection channel not dewatered due to 

safety concerns. Dive inspection used. 

North ladder (12/6) - Annual inspection and maintenance. Approximately 30 adult 

steelhead and 12 shad pushed to tailwater. Fifteen steelhead removed and transported 

to forebay. Forty-three lamprey provided to Umatilla tribe for restocking efforts 

(permits provided). Thirty-seven lamprey flushed from diffuser 16 chamber into 

tailwater through piping system. Thirty-four lamprey removed from diffusers 15 and 

16 by trap and dipnet the week following dewatering. Thirty-one lamprey died under 

grating one week after dewatering in area thought to have no lamprey. Many 

inspections did not reveal live lamprey. Investigation continues. 

Juvenile Bypass System (12/27) – Annual inspection and maintenance. Two adult 

steelhead were removed and released to forebay. 

Smolt Monitor Facility (9/15) – Dewatered for winter. Approximately 200 adult 

salmonids, approx 100 lamprey, approx 100 shad, 1 sturgeon, 2 catfish and 2 

smallmouth bass were evacuated from the Primary Dewatering Structure and flumes. 

Fishway Dives 

South collection channel and pump stilling basin ROV (2/16) – All grating and 2/3 

trashrack found in good condition. Could not access bottom 1/3 trashrack due to 

turbulence. 

South penstock bulkhead remove, trashrack install (2/23) – Annual inspection. 

South and north fishway ROV(8/10) – Annual mid season inspection. Grating found in 

good condition. 

TURBINE DEWATERING PROCEDURES 

Turbine dewatering for routine maintenance usually involves low numbers of fish, due to 

operational guidelines. If a turbine unit fails, operational guidelines cannot always be 

63
followed, which usually results in higher numbers of fish entrapment. Removal of fish 

from these areas has a greater fish stress risk due to handling. Procedures are continually 

analyzed to determine the best method for preventing fish stress or loss. Fish are 

removed from scroll case and draft tubes by fish bags. If numbers of fish are higher than 

two bags, transport tanks are placed in the draft tube gallery for transport by crane. Fish 

are released to tailwater either with bag and rope or tank and crane. 

Turbine Dewaterings 

Main turbine unit 16 (6/7) – Routine maintenance. No fish in scroll case. Approx 150 

catfish and 25 sturgeon removed from draft tube. 

Main turbine unit 14 (12/13) – Routine maintenance. Scroll case 1 perch. Draft tube 4 

sturgeon removed and released to river. 

FISHWAY INSPECTION COMPARISON 

Three adult fishway inspections are conducted per day during the adult fish passage 

season (March 1 to November 31). One adult fishway inspection is conducted per day 

during the non- passage season. Items shown in italics are inspected once per day. All 

other items are inspected during every fishway inspection. Guidelines are provided by 

the COE Fish Passage Plan. Weekly fishway status reports are provided throughout the 

year. Inspections of the John Day Smolt Monitor Facility are made once per two hours, 

24 hours per day during the juvenile sampling season (April 1 to Sept 15). SMF status 

reports are included in the weekly fishway status report. Increased or continual problem 

areas indicated in bold. Values are rounded to the nearest whole percent.

Discussion 

Overall, criteria operation continues to be well over 90%, similar to previous years. 

Velocity in the collection channel with a single meter still shows some problems. District 

hydraulics design section has provided guidance to optimal diffuser settings, but velocity 

continues to be the same. Meter calibration issues continue to be a problem. Investigation 

continues to determine if this is a fish passage problem. Float velocity tests will also be 

included to get a better understanding of total velocities. 

COUNT ACTIVITY 

Visual fish counting was conducted 4/1/05 to 10/31/06 by Washington Dept of Fish and 

Wildlife contract. Counts were sent electronically directly to data base. 

WATER QUALITY 

Temperature continues to be read at south forebay at John Day. Water clarity continues to 

be read by secchi dish at count stations. Fishway water temperatures are logged 24hrs/day 

during passage season and results provided with weekly fishway status reports.

FISHWAY ACTIVITIES 

Water temperatures were recorded hourly in six locations within the adult 

fishways from June to September. The purpose of this effort is to determine if thermal 

barriers exist and take corrective action if needed. 

One of three auxiliary water supply (AWS) pumps for the Oregon shore fishway 

(pump 3) was taken out of service on July 31, 2003 and remained out of service through 

2005. There is significant damage to the bearings, pump shaft, and stay vanes. The 

complexity of repairs and funding problems has delayed the pump’s return-to-service 

date until the summer of 2006. 

The University of Idaho installed PIT tag antennas for adult lamprey during the 

winter outage. Locations included ladder entrances, junction pools, and ladder exits, well 

away from existing detectors for salmonids to avoid interference. Also, the PIT tags used 

will be half-duplex in contrast to the full-duplex tags used in salmonids to further avoid 

interference. Lamprey were trapped and tagged at McNary for tracking in 2005. 

The juvenile fish facility was operated for juvenile fish transport/bypass and adult 

fallbacks from 18 March to 22 December.

FISHWAY ACTIVITIES 

Water temperatures were recorded hourly in six locations within the adult 

fishways from June to September. The purpose of this effort is to determine if thermal 

barriers exist and take corrective action if needed. 

The Walla Walla District completed a hydraulic evaluation of the south shore 

adult fishway in 2005. The purpose was to analyze existing operating conditions and 

investigate alternatives to improve fish passage. Operational changes are anticipated. 

 The three AWS pumps for the north shore fishway, newly installed during the 

winter of 2002-03, were outfitted with new babbit bearings in 2005. The original roller 

bearings had to be replaced due to excessive maintenance. 

The gear reducer for north shore AWS pump 2 failed on October 31, 2005 due to 

a fractured input shaft. Repairs are scheduled for completion in early 2006. 

 Agris-Schoen Vision Systems and Brigham Young University tested a system for 

counting adult fish by computer imaging. A camera and computer identify fish by 

species. 

 The University of Idaho installed half-duplex PIT tag antennas for adult lamprey 

during the winter outage. Locations included ladder entrances, junction pools, and ladder 

exits. Lamprey were trapped and tagged at McNary for tracking in 2005. 

The adult fish trap was not operated in 2005. 

The juvenile fish facility was operated for juvenile fish bypass and adult fallbacks from 4 

March to 21 December.

FISHWAY ACTIVITIES 

Water temperatures were recorded hourly in six locations within the adult 

fishways from June to September. The purpose of this effort is to determine if thermal 

barriers exist and take corrective action if needed. 

The Walla Walla District completed a hydraulic evaluation of both adult fishways 

in 2005. The purpose was to analyze existing operating conditions and investigate 

alternatives to improve fish passage. Operational changes are anticipated. 

The in-water sections of the north shore counting station were reconstructed 

during the winter maintenance period. 

The juvenile fish facility was operated for juvenile fish transport/bypass and adult

FISHWAY ACTIVITIES 

Water temperatures were recorded hourly in four locations within the adult 

fishway from June to September. The purpose of this effort is to determine if thermal 

barriers exist and take corrective action if needed. 

The Walla Walla District completed a hydraulic evaluation of the adult fishway in 

2005. The purpose was to analyze existing operating conditions and investigate 

alternatives to improve fish passage. Operational changes are anticipated. 

Weir NSE-2 was out of service from March 14 to the end of the year. Cables on 

the hoist were entangled with the gears. The weir was manually operated through the 

season at various depths to provide fish passage. Repair parts arrived September 6 but it 

was decided to complete the repairs during the 2005-06 winter outage. A similar 

problem occurred with weir NSE-1 on March 14 but it was fixed by April 27 after 

pirating parts from NSE-2. 

The juvenile fish facility was operated for juvenile fish transport/bypass and adult 

fallbacks from 17 March to 20 December.

FISHWAY ACTIVITIES 

Water temperatures were recorded hourly in four locations within the adult fishway from 

June to September. The purpose of this effort is to determine if thermal barriers exist and take 

corrective action if needed. 

The Walla Walla District completed a hydraulic evaluation of the adult fishway in 2005. 

The purpose was to analyze existing operating conditions and investigate alternatives to improve 

fish passage. Operational and possibly structural changes are anticipated. 

The gearbox for AWS pump 3 was replaced in August and September. 

The adult fish trap was operated from March through November. The trap was shut 

down during part of the summer due to high water temperatures. The trap was used for the 

following studies: 1) sampling 13% of the fall Chinook for run reconstruction by WDFW, 2) 

sampling 13% of the wild/natural steelhead for run reconstruction by IDFG, 3) collecting fall 

Chinook broodstock for the Lyons Ferry Hatchery and Nez Perce Tribal Hatchery, 4) radiotagging unlisted hatchery steelhead and scale sampling for run composition analysis by USFWS, 

and 5) using the separation-by-code system for fall Chinook as part of an early life history study 

by NMFS. 

The juvenile fish facility was operated for juvenile fish transport/bypass and adult 

fallbacks from 23 March to 21 December.

FISHWAY ACTIVITIES 

The Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County conducted 24-hour fish counts at Priest 

Rapids Dam, using three 8-hour shifts from 15 April through 07 August, 2005. Counts 

were made at both ladders using visual observations at the count boards each day of the 

week. From 08 August through 15 November adult fish counts were conducted via the 

Video Fish Count system. This new system involves the use of recorded digital video 

and does not require 24-hour staffing. Digital video data from the fishways are streamed 

to processing computers in the fish counting room. These computers filter the data into 

segments that contain some form of movement, called clips. Fish counters view these 

clips on computer workstations and count the passing fish. Fish counters were on site 

seven days per week, 16 hours per day, yet counted 24 hours worth of daily fish passage. 

Fall Chinook, coho, and steelhead passage data from Priest Rapids Dam, 2005, are 

incomplete and should be used with caution. Due to some system development and 

usage issues the fall data are known to contain inaccuracies, namely coho and steelhead 

are underrepresented; fall Chinook may be overrepresented. Recounts of fall passage are 

in progress. The corrected data will be posted to the Grant CO. PUD web page when 

they are available, and notification will be sent to area agencies and tribes. 

No adult counts were taken at Wanapum Dam, although the PUD is developing a video 

fish count system at the hydro project. 

The Mid-Columbia Coordination Committee approved the permanent closure of all 

collection channel orifice gates at Wanapum and Priest Rapids Dams in 2001. Main 

slotted entrances at the end of the channels remain open. 

The PIT-tag detection array at Priest Rapids dam operated continuously when the ladder 

was operational. 

Water velocities in the collection channel at Priest Rapids Dam have been improved and 

now run consistently at levels within criteria. LEW-5 is being used to manipulate flow 

through LSE-4 and increase water volumes and velocities through the collection channel.

Washington Department of Fish And Wildlife trapped and examined steelhead at the 

Priest Rapids Dam coded wire tag trapping facility from 14 July through 13 October. 

The trap was operated approximately 8 hours per day, usually every Tuesday and 

Thursday. 

The Priest Rapids Hatchery did not trap broodstock at Priest Rapids Dam.

FISHWAY ACTIVITIES

 The Rock Island Bypass Trap was operated by the Washington Department of 

Fish and Wildlife from April 1 through August 31, 2005. Juvenile fish were sampled 

daily during this time period. 

 Adult fish PIT tag detections in all three fishways were uploaded to PTAGIS 

throughout the 2005 season. Chelan County PUD took steps to reduce electrical 

interference at powerhouse #2 by installing a “noise” filter on a turbine unit’s cooling 

fan. When present, this interference can reduce PIT tag detection efficiency in the right 

bank ladder only. 

 In 2005, the Chelan County PUD tagged and monitored passage of radio-tagged adult 

bull trout at the Rock Island Project, and in the tributaries. The purpose of the bull trout 

study is to assess the behavior of the fish as they migrate through the dam, associated pool 

and tributaries. Tagging and monitoring will occur through 2009.

FISHWAY ACTIVITIES 

 The juvenile fish bypass system was operated for fish passage from April 1 to 

August 31, 2005. Juvenile fish sampling occurred over the same time frame. The annual 

bypass (biological) evaluation included an acoustic tag survival study and collection of 

data on species composition and fish condition. 

 In 2005, the Chelan County PUD tagged and monitored passage of radio-tagged 

adult bull trout at the Rocky Reach Project, and in the tributaries. The purpose of the bull 

trout study is to assess the behavior of the fish as they migrate through the dam, 

associated pool and tributaries. Tagging and monitoring will occur through 2009.

WELLS DAM 

FISH COUNTING SCHEDULE 

Adult counting schedules at Wells are from May 1 through November 15. Fish passage 

is assessed by reviewing a videotape record made the previous day. Passage by species and 

ladder is made for each hour of the day. Counts between 1967 and 1997 were reported for 16 

hours (0500 – 2100 PST). Starting in 1998, as per the request of the Wells Coordinating 

Committee, counts were reported in a 24 hour (0000 – 2400) format. Either format is available 

upon request from Douglas PUD. Chinook are separated into three populations based upon date 

of passage through the ladders. Spring Chinook pass the dam from May 1 through June 28, 

Summer Chinook between June 29 and August 28, and Fall Chinook from August 29 through 

November 15. 

ADULT PASSAGE FACILITIES 

The two fish ladders at Wells Dam are conventional staircase type fish ladders with 73 

pools. The ladders are located at the east and west end wall of the dam. The lower 56 pools 

discharge a constant 48 cfs dropping one foot at each pool into the attraction chamber in the 

lower ladder. Discharge from pool 73 through pool 57 is through two 30 inch by 16 1/2 inch 

submerged orifices. Discharge from pool 56 to pool 1 is over a seven foot wide overflow section 

in the wall between pools with additional flow through two 18 inch by 15 inch submerged 

orifices. Pools 67 and 68 have adult PIT-tag detection weirs that interrogate passage of all adults 

just prior to the ladder exit. Information on PIT-tag detection of adults using both east and west 

ladders is found on the PTAGIS web page ( http://www.pittag.org/web/Adult/index.html ). Pool 

No. 64 of both fishways contains facilities for counting fish. The main features of this facility 

are a counting room with an observation window adjacent to the fish ladder, a telescoping gate 

and light panel are used to guide the fish closer to the observation window. At Pool No. 40 are 

provisions for sorting and trapping various species of fish. The fisheries agencies and tribes 

develop broodstock collection protocols at the beginning of each season for collection of spring 

and summer chinook, sockeye and coho salmon and summer steelhead. These plans are 

submitted for review by the fisheries agencies and tribes that serve on the Wells Habitat 

Conservation Plan Coordinating Committee. 

At the bottom of the fish ladder, projecting downstream from the line of the 

hydrocombine is the portion of the endwall structure, which incorporates the functions of fish 

attraction and collection. Two-turbine pumps deliver attraction flow to the water supply 

chamber located adjacent to the ladder. The total flow from the turbine pump(s) plus the 48 cfs 

coming down the ladder from the reservoir is discharged to the tailwater through a single fish 

attraction opening per ladder. These openings are eight-foot wide vertical slot openings with 

vertical miter gates. Originally an additional set of side gates were provided. Ladder entrances 

were designed to have the side gate be open at 2 – 4’ and the end gate would automatically adjust 

its width to maintain a one foot differential in the collection chamber. Since July 1970, the side 

gate has been set at a four foot opening with the end gate fixed at six feet. A 1.5 foot differential 

is maintained as the two turbine pumps adjust output. On June 29, 2000, the joint fisheries 

205
parties agreed to have the side entrances permanently closed. This decision was based upon 

several years of radio telemetry studies with various species of anadromous fish that showed 

improved passage times with the side gates closed. 

FISH LADDER OPERATING SCHEDULE 

Annual maintenance is performed on the ladders at Wells to clean the ladder of debris 

and service the attraction flow pumps. During this time the ladders are taken out of service and 

de-watered. The dates of this work in 2005 were as follows: 

East Ladder

January 1 - 12 Inspection & Maintenance 

December 1 – 31 (Outage will extend into 2006) 

West Ladder

January 13 – February 24 Inspection and Maintenance 

JUVENILE PASSAGE FACILITES 

The juvenile Bypass at Wells Dam uses the hydrocombine design of the dam by 

modifying five of the eleven spill bays. The even number spill bays are partially constricted with 

barriers that improve the attraction flow from the forebay into the spill bay area. Up to 11,000 

cfs of water is made available for bypass flow during the juvenile migration. 

The operation of the bypass in 2005 was coordinated with the Wells Habitat 

Conservation Plan Coordinating Committee and with the Wells Coordinating Committee. In 

the past hydroacoustics and fyke netting have provided information on real time data of the fish 

migration. The fixed dates agreed to by both committees were established from 21 years of 

hydroacoustic and 14 years of species composition information collected on juvenile run patterns 

at Wells Dam. The spring period ran from April 12 through June 13 for a total of 63 days and a 

total discharge of 1.1 MAF, or 7.6% of total project discharge. The summer bypass started on 

June 14 and ran through August 26 for a total of 74 days and a project discharge of 1.3 MAF or 

6.8% of the total discharge. 

MISCELLANEOUS 

 

 In 2005, radio telemetry receivers were located at Wells Dam to monitor bull trout radiotagged by the USFWS. Antenna and receiving units were installed at Wells Dam as well as in 

neighboring tributaries. 

 The viewing glass on both ladders was polished during the maintenance period to remove 

scratches that occurred over several years. This service improved the image dramatically on the 

video record.
