ANNUAL FISH PASSAGE REPORT 


NORTH PACIFIC DIVISION 


BONNEVILLE, THE DALLES, McNARY AND ICE HARBOR DAMS 


COLUMBIA AND SNAKE RIVERS 

OREGON AND WASHINGTON 

Prepared by 

U. 	 S. A~ Engineer Districts 

Portland 	and Walla Walla 

Corps of Engineers 
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 River and, beginning this year, also on the 

., Snake River, a major tributary to the Columbia. This report covers information and activities at Bonneville, The Dalles, MCNary and Ice Harbor 

Dams during calendar year 1962. 

Originally the annual reports coVered only Bonrieville Dam activities 

but as more Corps' dams were constructed and put in operation they too 

have been included. This year marks the initial inclusion of Ice Harbor 

Dam located on Snake River. Other Corps' dams are presently under construction on Snake River and will be incorporated into future reports as 

the dams are completed and put in operation. The location of Corps of 

Engineer and other dams in the Columbia River Basin are shown on the preceding page. 

The fish facilities at Bonneville, MCNary, The Dalles and Ice Harbor 

Dams have been in operation 25, 9, 6, and 1 years, respectively. In addition to detailed records of fish passage during 1962, the report contains 

condensed records of fish passage at each of the projects from the time 

they were put in operation, and the tables and plates also include climatological, temperature and stream flow data. General site maps show the 

location of project fish facilities and other physical features. Brief 

references are made to such biological investigations and research experiments which may have been conducted during the year at the various 

Corps' projects in this report. 

Copies of the annual fish passage report are made available to biologists, State and Federal fishery departments, "libraries and other agencies 

and individuals interested in these fisheries. The use of information, 

data or other contents of this report is permissible provided credit for 

the source is given to the Corps of Engineers.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PASSAGE OF FISH 

BONNEVILLE, THE DALLES, McNARY, AND ICE HARBOR DAMS 

CALENDAR YEAR 1962 

BONNEVILLE DAM 

., SUMMARY 

1. Table 1 shows a summary of all the annual Bonneville Dam fish 

counts including those for 1962. The trend of the annual total salmonid 

counts has a slightly ascending inclination, as shown on plate 22; howeve~the trends of the spring and summer runs continue to asce~d while 

the fall chinook and steeIhead runs along with the silver run continue 

to decline. The number of silver salmon tallied in 1962 was about twice 

the annual average and helped to arrest the descending trend of this 

species. The silver c~unt totaled 14,788 fish and is the third largest 

for this species in the 25 years of fish counting at this project. 

2. Monthly records for 1962 are listed in table No.2. Daily counts, 

by months, are compiled in tables 3 to 20 inclusive. Peak days of migration 

of salmonids and shad by species from 1938 through 1962 are shown in 

table 21. Monthly records of salmon and steelhead trout for the period 

1938-1962 are shown in tables 22-26, inclusive, and annual totals for miscellaneous species counted during the same period are shown in table 27. 

3. In 1962, the most salmonids counted in one d~-was 14,452 on 

2 September. The peak day of movement of miscellaneous species was on 

14 July, when 32,518 shad and 1,345 other non-game fish (including 708 

lampreys) were enumerated in their ascent to the forebay. The daily 

fish counts of the 4 pincipal salmonid species at Bonneville, The Dalles, 

McNary, and. Ice Harbor during 1962 appear graphically on pla-tes 1, 2, 3, 

and 4.

Bonneville Dam 

4. No sampling and no night time tallying was performed at Bonneville 

in 1962. 

5. At least one complete fishw~ system was available for fish pass1"', 

age over the project at all times including the annual overhaul periods. 

6. The location of fish fadlities and other structLlres at the 

Bonneville Project are sho\ffi on the General Site Map plate 30. 

7. A total of 70.18 in~hes of precipitation was recorded in 1962. 

The maximum air temperature of 91 degrees F. was recorded on 26 July, 

and the minimum for the year was 15 degrees F. on 23 January. Snow fell 

28 February and 1 March. 

Spring Run Chinook Salmon 

( 1 March- 31 May) 

8. An above-average run of spring chinook appeared again; the number 

was 91,116. See table 22 and plates 1 and 5. The maximum count in one 

day was 4,767, on 23 April. See table 21. Table No. 28 presents the 

totals and percentages of the spring run ascending each ladder. Plate 13 

shows the trend line of the spring run of chinook salmon at Bonneville.

( 1 June-15 August) 

10. The summer run of chinook also exceeded the 25-year average. 

See table 22; 82,627 were tallied. Table 21 shows the peak day of abun­

.~ dance to be 16 June, with·4,930 fish. Percentages of summer chinook counted 

at each ladder in 1962, and percentages of this run to the total chinook 

count for each year 1938-1962 inclusive, are shown in tables 28 and 29.

Fall Run Chinook Salmon 

(16 August-3D November) 

l2. At the peak of the fall run, only 7,750 chinook were enumerated 

(1 September). This is the lowest fall run peak day ever recorded. See 

table 21. The average maximum dayf& count is 18,869. The fall run totaled 

112,882, whereas, the 25-year average is 201,258; hence, the trend line, 

as shown in plate 15 continues to decline.

Chinook Jacks or Grilse 

14. The 23,037 fish recorded as jacks, or grilse, constitutes 8.04% 

of the total 1962 run of chinook salmon. See tables 30 and 31. No separate 

record of jack salmon was kept 1 March through 10 May. The count from 

11 May to 28 November was 16,445 which was 8.04% of the total during this 

same period. Assuming the same percentage in the period prior to 11 May 

the adjusted total for 1962 would be 23,037. 

Blueback 

15. Only 28,179 blueback were observed to pass upstream over the 

Bonneville ladders. However, an appreciable, although untallied number 

are known to ascend through the navigation locks. If the same yearly percentage of the total population in tlie river can be assumed to pass through 

the navigation lock each year, the 1962 total of blueback salmon was a small 

run. In only three years (1944, 1945 and 1961) have fewer nerka been 

recorded. The average is 99,991; see table 23. 

16. For comparison, the 1962 blueback counts at several dams above 

Bonneville are shown herewith:

Silver Salmon 

18. An exceptional total of 14,788 silvers passed Bonneville. The 

only counts that were greater occurred during 1938 and 1941 when 15,185 .. and 17,911 silvers respectively were tallied. The average is 7,284. 

• 	 Although an excellent count was recorded in 1962, plate 18 shows a continued declining trend for the 25 years of counting at Bonneville. Additional data are shown on tables 21, 24, 33, and 37, as well as plates 3, 

7, and 18. A night factor of 0.08 was applied to the silver salmon count 

after the 29th of September. Prior to 29 September the counting gates 

were closed at night.

21. The number of silver salmon recorded upstream from Bonneville Dam 

as shown in the above tabulations discloses obvious discrepancies in the 

silver count at Bonneville Dam. The cause of the inaccuracy is not known 

but may be due to incorrect night factor, misidentification of fish, and/or 

upstream 	passage of silver salmon through the navigation lock without being 

observed.

Bonneville Dam. 

Chum Salmon 

22. A total of 1,013 chum salmon were recorded during October and 

November. This indicates a good run of this species, inasmuch as the 

run continues well into December, when no counting was performed. (See 

table 25 for December data previous to 1950). No chum night time factors 

were applied as none were available. Tables 1, 2, 21, 25, and 34 show com~ 

parative data at Bonneville. 

23. Customarily, the Columbia River chum salmon do not penetrate far 

inland. None were counted at The Dalles Dam in 1962. However, individuals 

of one race of chum salmon pass eastward through the Bering Straits to enter 

the McKenzie River of Canada, which they ascend for at least 1,500 miles. 

Humpback Salmon 

24. Twenty-seven humpback salmon were tallied at Bonneville Dam in 

1962. Five were seen at The Dalles Dam, but none were observed at any 

dams above there. 

Steelhead Trout 

25. Only 5 previous years have brought more steelhead to Bonneville 

than the 164,025 count~d in 1962. See tables No. 1 and 36; plates 19, 20, 

and 21 show the trends of the various runs of this species of fish. The 

plotted daily counts of steelhead are shown on plate 4. It was noted that 

this year's trout were above-average size and in splendid condition.

Maximum Abundance and Yearly Percentage of Sa1monids 

Counted Over Each Fish Ladder 

27. Peak. days of fish migrat10n are shown in table 21. The comparat1ve usage of the f1shladders by salmonid species for the period 

1938-1962 is shown in table 37. 

Miscellaneous Species 

28. Detailed statistical data pertaining to fishes, other than salmonids, are presented in tables 1, 2, 27, 38, 39, and 40; population 

trends are shown on plates 23, 24, and 25. After the shad and lamprey counts 

are deducted from the total miscellaneous speCies, only 79,160 remain. This 

is the smallest count ever recorded. In fact, the total enumeration of all 

non-commercial races (minus lamprey and shad) has been diminishing from yearto-year. One of the greatest reductions in passage has been that of squawfish. 

29. Miscellaneous species of fish, not including lamprey, moved most 

abundantlY 14 JulY, when 33,155 were counted. Of these, 32,518 Were shad. 

30. Smelt: No smelt have been seen at Bonneville since 1953. 

31. Shad: An unusuallY large total of 435,988 shad was counted through 

the Bonneville ladders in 1962, and 216,464 of these were enumerated at The 

Dalles Dam. An unknown number passed through the navigation locks. A great 

many remained in the ladders into October and November. Several dozen were 

still present in the Washington ladder when it was drained the first week in 

December 1962. 

32. Through 1959, the trend line sloped downward, but With the increase 

in 1960 it changed to an ascending gradient. The large runs of 1961 and 

1962 have increased the steepness of the trend line. Plate 23, and tables 38, 

39, and 40 present shad statistics. 

33. Shad, in the junction pool, circled clockwise, whereas, in other 

confined areas hereabouts they circle counter clockwise. 

7 
Bonneville Dam 

34. An Indian dipnetter, again caught many shad and blueback salmon 

at Cascade Locks before these species were observed in the ladders at 

Bonnevi~le; thus indicating passage of fish through the Navigation Locks. 

He dipnetted 1,000 pounds of shad on 13 June. Prior to this date only 

147 shad had been tallied at Bonneville. 

35., Sturgeon: Only one sturgeon was observed crossing the Bonneville 

Counting b,oards in 1962; this was in July. 

36. Efforts to catch small sturgeon in the North Washington fishlock 

were unsuccessful, but numerous sturgeon taken in the powerhouse draft 

tube stoplogs were held temporarily at the Oregon Fish Commission1 s 

Bonneville Hatcher,y; later, some of them were flown to the Kobe Japan 

aquarium, by the Fish and Wi~dlife Service. 

37. Two large female sturgeon were turned over to the Oregon Fish Commission and were placed in the Bonneville Hatcher,y 8 October, by representatives of the Washington State Department of Game and Fisheries, who 

had discovered them tied illegally to a large rock about 1/2 mile downstream 

from the spillway. Anglers had captured these oversize fish and had attempted 

to secure them until the arrival of an opportune time for removal from the 

river. One weighed approximately 325 pounds, and required the energies of 

8 men to carr,y her to a pickup truckbed filled with water in a tarpaulin. 

Six men carried the smaller one up the steep rocky slope on an Armw stretcher. 

The tying of the fish caused" rope burn" or inJur,y to the caudal peduncles 

which became infected with Saprolegnia fungus, but topical application of 

malachite green, through a funnel and pipe, kept the infection in control, 

and at the time of editing white scar tissue has replaced the fungus. 

38. Older residents of the region have known instances Wherein sturgeon1 s tails have fallen off after the fish had been secured by ropes tied 

about the caudal peduncles. 

8 
Bonneville Dam 

39. Squawfish and Suckers: Never before have so few squawfish and 

suckers climbed the Bonneville ladders. Only 11,079 squawfish and 48,995 

suckers were counted in 1962. See table No. 27 and plate 24. The reason 

for the steady diminution in movement is not known. 

40. Lamprey: The d~ count of lamprey was not adjusted by application of the night factor of .541 during the time the counting gates were 

closed at.night. However, these animals are nocturnal and numbers of them 

passed through the spaces between the bars of the counting station barriers. 

This may explain why the lamprey total is so much lower than in 1961. The 

night count factor was applied after 29 September, when the gates were left 

open 24 hours per day, but ver,y few lampreys were counted after September. 

The peak of lamprey migration occurred 22 July, when 3,751 cyclostomes 

were checked. 

Fish Counting Schedule 1962 

1 Januar,y - 28 Februar,y - No counting was performed. 

1 March - 31 March - Two counters on duty 8 hours per day 8 AM ­

4 PM. Counting gates closed at night. 

1 April - 29 September - Four counters on duty 4:00 AM - 8:00 PM; 

gates closed at night. 

30 September - 28 November - Two counters on duty 8 hours per d~; gates 

remained open. Night factors* were applied. 

29 November - 31 December - No counting performed; gates remained open at 

all times. 

*Night factors for different species of fish are as follows: 

Chinook (a~ult) 0.058 Chum (none determined) 

Chinook (jack) 0.058 Steelhead 0.033 

Blueback 0.059 Lamprey 0.541 

Silver 0.08 Misc. Species 0.181 

9 
Bonneville Dam 

41. A ten minute rest period was taken each hour by the counters. 

Therefore, counting was performed 50 minutes each hour, and a factor of 

1.2 was applied to the 50 minute count to compensate for any fish passing 

over the board during this time. 

Washington Shore Fishway Inspection, Overhaul and MOdification 

42. Stoplogs were placed at the upper end of the Washington fishway 

15 Januar,y, and the ladder above tailwater was drained for cleaning, inspection 

and repairs. An appreciable amount of silt was cleaned from the upper end 

of the ladder and in addition mud which had settled against the upstream side 

of the stoplogs was removed. The motor-operated adjustable gates (weirs 80, 

81 and 82) were overhauled and repaired. Wood baffle posts in diffusion 

chambers 1 through 8 were removed and replaced by reinforced concrete monolithic baffles. The ladder was reflooded 21 Februar,y. 

43. The Washington fish lock was operated as an adult fish pass while 

the ladder was undergoing overhaul in Januar,y and Februar,y. 

44. The Washington shore mechanical screen pit was drained 9 Februar,y 

and after inspection was immediately reflooded in order to make water available to a fire protection pump. It was drained again 2 March and the lower 

shafts, sprockets, and bearings were found to be in good condition. 

45. The Washington ladder was again drained in December and the lower 

end unwatered. By the end of 1962 wood baffles had been replaced by concrete 

in diffusion chambers 9 through 12 leaving 13 through 17 to be poured in 

early 1963. See Fig. 1. Nos. 16 and 17 are normally operated continuously 

to supply attraction water for the collection bay, while 18, 19 and 20 are 

used only when the fish lock is in use. When the wood baffles in No. 16 

were blown out in August, No. 18 was operated as an emergency replacement

and its use was continued even after its wooden posts were also washed out. 

Baffles in diffusion chamber No. 18 were replaced with timber while 19 and 

20 were deferred until some future time. 

46. Diffusion chambers of all fish facilities were flushed repeatedlY 

during 1962 thus expelling the silt which collects in these low recesses. 

Bradford Island Fishway Inspection and Overhaul 

47. The timber posts in the diffusion chamber in the junction pool 

of the Bradford Island ladder were replaced by a concrete installation 

poured 2 January 1962. With the exception of little-used diffusion 

chambers 31, 32 and 33 all baffles in both the "A" and the "B" branch 

ladders are now of concrete. 

48. While the A-branch ladder was drained to permit work in the 

junction pool the following work was accomplished: 

a. Worn diffusion gratings were replaced with new panels made 

with 2 x 6 lumber with 1" spaces. 

b. Silt was removed from diffusion chamber No.4. 

c. The bonnet for the slide gate in chamber No.7 was repaired. 

d. A depression which existed in the concrete at the side 

seal of radial valve No. 7 was successfullY filled with epoxy cement. 

49. Stoplogs were lifted from the upper and lower ends of the A-branch 

ladder 26 January thus reactivating the fishway. 

50. The Bradford IslaRd mechanical screen pit was draine~ 8 January 

to facilitate inspection, cleaning and repair. The area was reflooded 

29 January, and the auxiliary water supplY system was placed in operation. 

It was drained again on 21 February to expedite transferral of the screen 

washing pump for overhaul. The pump from the Washington side of the river 

was substituted and the pit was rewatered immediatelY.

51. The old and little used gantr,y cranes of the A and B-branch 

Bradford Island fishladders were removed because their work can now be 

accomplished by automotive cranes operating from access roads built in 1961. 

52. Additional Piezometer tubes were installed in the auxiliar,y water 

conduits of the two branches of the Bradford Island ladder and the powerhouse 

collection system; internal conduit pressure readings were then made. Consideration is being given to plans which would permit passage of fingerling salmon through the auxiliar,y water supply systems, following removal 

of the filter screens. It has been determined by experiments that fingerlings can be safely passed through the conduits of the branch "A" ladder if 

water pressure differentials across the diffusion chamber valves are held 

under 5 p. s.1. 

Bradford Island Counting Station 

53. After long preparation, a new Bradford Island lighted counting 

board was installed. Electricians completed wiring of the new facility 

1 March. This device consists of a large hollow "~' shaped structure 

having the dimensions of 4' x 3'-3" in plan view. The horizontal leg 

of the L extends across the counting opening underwater, While the vertical 

portion of the L rises above the water and provides a dr,y compartment for 

4 beamed lights directed downward to mirrors which reflect the light across 

and up from the bottom to illuminate the fish from below. See Figure 2. 

The entire assembly is affixed to the original counting board elevator, 

and can be submerged to a point near the top of the vertical L. The fish 

counters apparently pref,er the original simple light system as developed 

at the Washington Station. Too much light diffuses through the vertical 

wall of the new plastic board, while not enough light is reflected upward 

by the mirrors.

Powerhouse Collection Channel and Fish Lock Re~ir and Overhaul 

55. Units 1, 2 and 3 of the powerhouse collection channel and the 

approach to the fish lock were unwatered in January 1962. Debris and silt 

was removed from all drained areas. New gratings1 made of 2 x 6 lumber with 

1" spaces, were installed in about half the diffusion area of the fish 

lock channel and in all of the area of powerhouse Un1ts 2 and 3. The gri11­

age supports were reconstructed 'Where required and iron work was cleaned 

and painted. An auxiliary water supply gate in Unit 1 was repaired. The 

14 

Bonneville Dam 

wooden baffles in the diffusion chamber of Unit 3 were taken out to study 

the effect their removal would have on the smoothness with Which auxiliar,y 

water is added to the channel flow. (Later, during operation, observers 

could discern no difference between the water action of this chamber and 

those equipped with baffles). This area was reflooded 23 Februar,y. The 

auxiliar,y water intake system was reactivated 27 Februar,y and the trash 

racks were installed. 

56. A portion of. this same place (the fish loc~ approach channel) 

was drained again on 19 November to check, sandblast, clean and paint the 

various radial gates and embedded steel in the water valve and conduitcomplex south of the powerhouse. The bottom seal and the two lower corner 

seals were renewed on radial valves No.2, 3, 4, and 5. New grease lines 

to the bearings of gates and mOVing parts of lifting mechanism were installed. All entrance and exit gates of the north fish lock were removed 

for sandblasting and installation of newer seals, taken from spare equipment. 

57. The floor of the upper end of the powerhouse was originallY constructed sloping from elevation 60 down to elevation 50 and it was found

• 

that this low place caught debris which made the placing of stoplogs difficult. This sloping area was eliminated by filling with concrete up to 

EI. 60. This will also result in increasing the velocities in this area 

so that the by-pass should be more effective in attracting fingerlings. 

This work continued into 1963. 

58. A timber curtain wall, supported by large I beams, separates 

the powerhouse collection channel from the draft tube stoplog slots in Units 

1 through 6. Workmen, in Januar,y, continued the placement of new planks in 

this curtain wall; all exposed metal was sandblasted, cleaned and painted. 

15 

Bonneville Dam 

59. From Units 7 through 10, the powerhouse collection channel above 

El. 20 is separated from the draft tube stoplogs slots by a concrete wall 

which had two continuous rows of 3-1/411 x 3-1/411 holes at El. 22 to act as 

pressure relief openings in the event of extreme surging in the draft 

tubes. After many years of consideration these holes were filled with 

concrete thus precluding loss of fish collection system water when tailwater levels rise above plus 22 feet. The work began 31 January, and was 

completed 5 February. 

60. The use of powerhouse radial valve No.1, which supplies auxiliary 

water to the powerhouse collection system, at times causes rather extreme 

pressure fluctuations in the air in the auxiliary water conduit. A 30 inch 

vent at the north end, and a smaller 18 x 18 inch opening at the south end 

of the powerhouse tends to balance the air pressure, but on occasion it builds 

up inside the conduit to blow the heavy access port cover from its socket. 

Escaping water then washes into the machine shop. In January, a second and 

larger pressure escape port, 2 x 4 feet, was cut through the concrete wall 

at the south end of the conduit to alleviate the condition. An air jet deflector was installed over the opening to prevent blasts of air and water from 

discharging on the deck. 

Auxiliary Water Supply 

61. As usual, when large numbers of fingerling salmon are released 

from hatcheries above Bonneville, the f1shway auxiliary water supply valves 

were partially closed to prevent loss of small fish on the water intake screens. 

In addition, the powerhouse fishlock served effectively as a fingerling by-pass. 

16 
Bonneville Dam 

62. Each spring freshet carries much debris downstream, a portion of 

which lodges on the mechanical and stationary auxiliary water filter screens 

from Whence it must be removed at frequent intervals. Three extra men are 

employed to aid the regular crew in operation of the mechanical screens 

every other hour, 24 hours per day, during the high water period. In 1962, 

this heavy debris season lasted from April until mid-July. The stationary 

screens are washed with a powerful jet of water from a hose from once per 

week to once per day, depending upon the amount of silt and fibrous material 

in the river water. 

63. Again in November, trash from the sand shoals above the Bradford 

Island Counting Station was deposited on the stationary screens. 

64. A clamshell dredge removed silt and debris from the upper side of 

the powerhouse auxiliary water trash racks 22 May. 

Spillway Bay 1 and 18 Barriers 

65. After the Bay 1 and 18 screen barriers had been repaired and replaced (5-15 Mar.) gates in Bays 1 and 18 were opened 4 inches to furnish 

additional attraction water at the collection bays. 

66. The drain tunnels of the South (abandoned) fishlocks at the Spillway Dam have been continued in use as escape tunnels for adult fish trapped 

above the screen barriers in Bays 1 and 18. The water level in the collection 

bays is always higher than the tailwater, and causes a flow into the South 

fishlock entrances between the concrete diffusion baffles, then out the drain 

tunnels into Bays 1 and 18. Any fish confined therein can locate this upwelling current of water and escape into the collection bays. 

17 

Bonneville Dam 

Special Observations on Submerged Orifices 

67. In 1955-1956 numerous submerged orifices were installed in the 

powerhouse fish collection system. These orifices were made in 3 different 

sizes with framing of 2 x 4 inch lumber, and a covering of galvanized sheet 

metal. They have deteriorated and been rebuilt once or twice. Plans were 

formulated to replace them with structural steel, but little information 

was available on whether the openings should be arranged hOrizontally or 

vertically. A series of observations during the fall of 1960 indicated a 

slight preference by the fish for the vertical apertures but the data was 

considered inadequate because not enough fish were seen; furthermore, the 

gates could not be changed rapidly enough to make tests with both vertical 

and horizontal ports each day. Thereafter, the fishway 

two combination gates whereby the fish entry avenue/ould.e 

one to the other in a few minutes; as follows: 

68. Two powerhouse collection system regulating gates were modified 

by cutting a vertical opening in the body of the gate 1-1/2 feet wide by 

6 feet 8-1/2 inches long; framing members of the gate were not severed. 

A steel plate 1/4 inch thick, 30 in. wide, and 7 feet long slides in 

notches or guides, to open and close the vertical adit. A wooden horizontal entry-section measuring 2 ft. 9 in. by 9 ft. 6 in. was bolted to 

the bottom of the regulating gate. The opening in this wooden section is 

6 ft. 8-1/2 in. by 1 ft. 6 in. When the horizontal entry port was open, 

the sliding steel plate, described above, covered the vertical slot. When 

the latter type of entry was to be used, the whole assembly of regulating 

gate and wooden section was lowered one foot, or until the horizontal orifice was blocked, or closed, by the column of segmental gates. See Fig. 3.

19 
Bonneville Dam 

The sliding section was pulled upward by a line and pulley. Thereafter, 

a series of observations were made in which the fish showed no preference 

for either vertical or horizontal apertures. However, in similar tests at 

the Bonneville Fisheries Research Laborator,y, fish demonstrated a slight 

preference for the vertical orifices. 

69. On 12 September, an aluminum colored buoyant test gate was placed 

in the powerhouse collection system opening No. 64, but ver,y few fish 

entered; nor did many enter the next day, When presumably, all human odor 

from handling, had washed away. Thereafter, (untouched by human hands) 

the buoyant assembly, with its 3 feet wide, by 5 feet high portal, was 

moved to the powerhouse collection system entr,yway No. 65; again, few 

fish entered. There are two possible reasons for the rejection: the 

aluminum color may have frightened the fish, or a greater quantity of water 

from the 3 x 5 foot opening prevented their entr,y. The latter does not 

appear to be the reason for the difference. The regular powerhouse collection system gates were dark or rusty; fish could be seen to cross the 

jet from these black passageways, and in their inertia would move out of 

sight, but would immediately reappear and enter either the narrow vertical 

or horizontal orifice. However, fish appearing in the jet from the 3 x 5 

foot aluminum colored facility would back away and disappear in rejection 

of the conditions associated with the buoyant gate. 

70. Two submerged chambers were temporarily established to give fishway operators limited opportunity to make observations related to the orifice 

tests both inside and outside the collection system. This experiment was 

terminated 14 September to make w~ for a U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

turbine draft tube net test. The data and summar,y of the orifice study 

is presented on page 21.

U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Activities 

71. In Februar,y the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service tested louvers for 

guiding fingerlings in the Bonneville Fisheries Research Laborator,y building. 

During the early spring the various fingerling by-pass traps were operated 

to obtain test subjects for these experiments. Later, this rather elaborate 

array of louvers was moved to the upper end of the Tanner Creek by-pass where 

other extensive tests were performed. 

72. Another group of U. S. Fish and Wildlife biologists began the 

development of an experimental single layer net 241 ft. long with mouth \ 

32 ft. by 82 ft. to be used at the draft tubes to screen fingerlings from 

up to 15,000 cubic feet per second of water emitting from the turbines. 

An extensive trolley and winch system was constructed at Unit 9, (with 

aid of the rigging crew from The Dalles Dam) to raise and lower the net 

into and out of the water. Tests of the various nets or improvements 

thereon, were made 2 March, 23 April, 30 April, 7 May, 19 and 25 September, 

3 October, and 21 November. The work is continuing. 

73. With the use of a large seine, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

employees made efforts to determine whether any adult salmon came downstream under gate No. 1 into Bay 1 above the barrier screens. No salmon 

were caught in these brief attempts. 

74. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service began the trapping of 1,000 

adult chinook salmon at the Washington Counting Station trap on 23 April. 

Five hundred were taken for Wind River stocking purposes, and 500 more 

for Idaho Department of Fish and Game. The quota was reached by 30 April. 

All were held at the Tyee Hatcher,y holding pond and eyed eggs from 500 of 

the fish were transferred to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. 

22 
Bonneville Dam 

Oregon Fish Commission Tagging Experiment 

75. Oregon Fish Commission personnel again tagged spring chinook in 

the lower river, while other employees of the Commission observed the 

tagged fish as they passed over the counting boards at Bonneville. 

Shad Observations for Pennsylvania Fish Commission 

76. Messrs. Harlan B. Holmes and Milo C. Bell again conducted a study 

of shad habits at Bonneville Dam for the Pennsylvania Fish Commission. Six 

local women were given intensive training in shad identification. Platforms 

and counting stations were constructed at 8 sites on the Bradford Island 

fishways to accomplish the general mission of determining the preferences 

of shad for submerged orifices or overflow weirs; the shad appeared to prefer the latter. Mr. Albert M. Day, Director, Pennsylvania Fish Commission, 

inspected the study preparations 19 June. 

Fisheries Agencies Inspections 

77. Various Inspectors from Oregon, Washington and Federal Fisheries 

Agencies performed bi-weekly inspections of the Bonneville and The Dalles 

fish facilities through the fish migration season. 

Bonneville Personnel Participation and Activities at Other Projects 

78. The Bonneville Resident Biologist spent a month at Shasta Dam 

aiding the Walla Walla District, Corps of Engineers, to conduct turbinefingerling studies, employing 3 large multiple layer draft tube nets for 

recover,y of test fish. The work was highly successful. 

79. The use of large nets to collect fingerlings from powerhouse draft 

tubes was first proposed by Bonneville personnel in 1956 in connection with 

experiments tha! were being conducted at Bonneville Dam. The information 

23 

Bonneville Dam 

and techniques developed were later utilized by the Oregon Game Commission 

to construct a net for an experiment at Leaburg powerhouse in 1957. Experience gained here and in a series of tests at Walterville, Stayton 

and Oregon City led to design of successful nets used by the Walla Walla 

District at Cushman and Shasta Dams. 

Bo. Bonneville and The Dalles fishways personnel visited Rocky Reach 

Dam 24 July, to observe the method of counting fish (through glass) at 

eye level. With clear water this is an excellent system but visibility 

problems may be encountered With turbid water. 

Miscellaneous Observations 

8L Approximately 300 live trout 6 to lO" Long were rescued from a 

drained scroll case 2 May and released into the river. 

82. On several occasions, gulls were seen feeding on organisms rising 

With the discharge water from the powerhouse draft tubes. 

Fishway Operation and Maintenance Costs 

83. The total 1962 fishway operation and maintenance cost, including 

routine fish counting, but exclud~ng research and other experimental investigations, was distributed as follows:

Weather and River Flow Data 

84. Freezing weather was experienced 19-22 Januar,y and 8 inches of 

snow fell on 1 March. Daily records of weather conditions are shown on the 

monthly tables of salmonid fish counts, tables 3 through 20. Daily tur­ v 

bidity readings, river flow and water temperatures are plotted for the 

year on plate 26. 

Visitors 

85. The project fish facilities were viewed and studied by many 

visitors including biologists, college students, and fisheries managers 

and administrators from other states and countries among Which was the 

Inland Fisheries Administrator of Yugoslavia. Visitors to the Bonneville 

project totaled 821,196 in 1962.

THE DALLES DAM 

SUMMARY , 

86. A total of 945,161 fish was counted at The Dalles Dam in 1962 including 381,261 salmon1ds and 563,900 miscellaneous species. The salmon1d 

count was comprised of 187,132 chinook, 27,127 blueback, 3,696 silver, 5 

humpback, and 163,301 steelhead trout. 

B7. Fish :facility locations are shown on the General Site Map plate 31 

and photo 1-D. 

88. Monthly totals o:f all species of fish counted at The Dalles Dam 

during the 1962 season are shown in table 42. Daily fish count records by 

months are shown in tables 43 through. 56. Peak. days of migration :for salmonids and shad :from 1957-1962, inclusive, are shown in table r:;r. 

89. The greatest number o:f salmon1ds counted in one day was 8,239 on 

10 September. The maximum dayt s count of all :fish was 18,698 on 15 July. 

This number included 16,943 miscellaneous species, o:f Which 14,039 were shad, 

and 1,080 were lamprey. The peak. day for lamprey was 3,476 on 31 July.

91. The maximum daily count of spring chinook was 4,104 on 28 April. 

Tables 42, 58 and 63 as well as plate 1, present additional information con­

.. cerning this segment of the chinook salmon. 

92. When The Dalles Dam pool was raised in 1957 it inundated Celilo 

Falls and also the Indian fishing sites located in its general vicinity• 

. This inundation plus the elimination in 1957 of all commercial fishing 

above Bonneville Dam resulted in larger escapements of spring chinook salmon 

as reflected in the counts of chinook salmon shown in figure 4. 

Summer Run Chinook Salmon 

(6 June-20 August) 

93. The summer chinook run reached its peak of 3,005 on 17 June. A 

total of 62,428 summer run chinook were tallied at The Dalles Dam in 1962.

Shad 

104. The 216,464 shad counted at The Dalles Dam represents 49.-65" of 

the 435,988 Bonneville total. The 1962 shad count is the largest to date at 

this project and is about twice the 1961 count as indicated in the comparative 

shad tabulation shown below:

1962 71,966 33.25 144,598 66·75 216,464 

106. The explanation for the phenomena above is believed to lie in the 

combination of different powerhouse and spillway discharges. Although more 

power units were operated in 1961 and 1962, the spillway discharge at the beginning of the shad migration was greater than in earlier years. See plate 27. 

No further ana~sis of the situation has been made. 

107. Fourteen to eighteen adult shad were observed 4 Januar,y 1962 in 

the turn of the east fish1adder. Later, following the enormous run of A1osa, 

hundreds of shad could be seen at the same p1ace(13 and 29 September). A 

portion of this group remained throughout December 1962. 

108. For additional data on shad see tables 42, 57, 62 and 68.

The Dalles Dam 

Ill. Some discrepancies between the Bonneville "and The Dalles counts 

may arise from differences of bar spacings in"elements of the counting 

"" , barriers, and modes of tally operation, but another factor may be involved. 

Several hundred lampreys were observed 5 April in the shallow water of 

15 Mile Creek opposite The Dalles Dam powerhouse. These were very dark, 

and it was the opinion o~ the observ~rs that they were over-winter residents 

although no evidence of this possibility ha~ been noted in any scientific 

paper treating of the species. " No "lampreys had been counted a:t Bonneville 

prior to 5 April, and none ha~ been observed in th~ ladders or "navigation 

locks. Several Bonneville and The ~alles ~onthly and Annual Reports have 

listed numerous instances wherein da~k lampreys have been noted in the fishways when these were drained for wintertime maintenance. The difference in 

counts between MCNa~ and Ice Harbo~ may have resulted from one or several 

of the foregoing possibilities. 

112. Lampreys are considered a food delicacy by Indians as well as by 

Caucasians in certain parts of Europe, and could become a more important 

local food. Contrary to the generally expressed public contempt for lampreys, 

the policy of the Corps of Engineers is to preserve and protect the cyclostome as a potentially valuable food resource. Furthermore, they are an 

interesting species in the river, fOrming a primary element of the diet of 

sturgeon, and they enter the food chain on which small salmon feed. 

Stur5eon 

113. Three sturgeon were counted at The Dalles Dam in 1962; each was 

described as 4 ft. or over. None were observed at any of the dams upriver 

from there. 
The Da11e s Dam 

.~ 

.. 

114. Set-line fishermen are capturing many of the larger sturgeon in 

the vicinity of The Dalles. However, frequent leaps of both large and small 

ACipenser can be observed south and east of The Dalles powerhouse and in 

the navigation lock approach area• 

Carp 

115. Only 14,508 carp were counted at The Dalles Dam in 1962. This 

is the lowest number of this species since counting began at this dam. 

Fish Counting Schedule for The Dalles Dam - 1962 

116. The 1962 fish counting schedule: 

1 January - 31 March. No counting was performed. 

1 April - 27 October. Full time counting. Sixteen hours per day at each 

station. A factor of 1.2 was applied to the counts to compensate for the 

passage of fish during the 10 minute rest period each hour, as the gates 

were left open at these times. However, the gates were closed at night, 

therefore, no nighttime factor was applied. 

28 October - 31 December. No counting was performed. Gates remained open and 

fish were free to pass upstream at all times. 

Fish Facilities Ins~ection Alterations and Operations 

117. On 26 January the north fishway aild auxiliary water supply systems 

were drained to tai1water level. Both systems were in good condition. Only 

a few boulders had to be removed. The ladder was reactivated 30 January 

(it was drained again briefly 8-15 November 1962). The east ladder was 

drained on 30 January. Weir 141 had fallen over; it was righted and secured 

35 
The Dalles Dam 

to the fishway walls. This fishway was rewatered 26 February. 

118. Both fishwater turbine generator units were overhauled during the 

season when very few fish migrate upstream. 

119. A new, well designed canopy was installed to shade the North 

Shore counting board. See photos 2-D and 3-D. 

Special Fisheries Investigations 

120. Two Alaska type floating scrap fish traps were operated by the 

Washington State Department of Fisheries in The Dalles Dam vicinity. One 

was located in the cul-de-sac area as in 1961. For a period of time in 

May, numerous large sturgeon were captured day after day in this trap. When 

the webbing was lowered to release the sturgeon, and prevent damage to the 

meshes, all other fish escaped also. Strangely, the capture of the sturgeon 

ceased abruptly. 

121. Mr. Harlan B. Holmes conducted a study of the swimming abilities 

of shad in the fishlock approach channel (13 July). The adjustable weirs 

give flexibility in setting gradient of ascent. 

Miscellaneous Observations 

122. Indians operated set nets and dipnets, as well as set lines, in 

the waters opposite the south end of the spillway dam. 

Fish~ Operation and Maintenance Costs 

123. The annual cost of fishway operation, maintenance, and fish counting 

for 1962 was as follows: 
The Dalles Dam 

Routine Operation $58,723. 67 

Maintenance 23,700.17 

Fish Counting 16,023.40 

Total $98,447.24

McNARY DAM 

SUMMARY 

126. The total passage of all species of fish at McNar,y Dam during 

1962 was 655,775, the second lowest total since counting began in 195~ and 

25 per cent below the nine-year average of 876,8~4 fish. 

127. A total of 3~8,504 salmon and steelhead trout were tallied, being • 

comprised of 152,756 chinook, 29,372 blueback and 3,195 silver salmon and 

163,181 steelhead trout. These totals ranked highest for silver salmon 

and steelhead trout, sixth for chinook and eighth for blueback salmon for 

the nine-year period of count. The total salmonid count ranked fifth and 

was 1 per cent below the nine-year average of 352,003. 

128. The miscellaneous fish total of 307,271, comprised of 13 species, 

was the lowest annual total recorded in the nine-year period, and was ~l per 

cent below the 524,841 average count. The total count of miscellaneous fish 

has shown a general downward trend through the period of counting. 

129. The annual totals of all fish passing McNar,y Dam during the period 

1954-1962 are shown in table 69. Month~ totals for 1962 appear in table 70. 

Dai~ counts, by species, are compiled by months in tables 72 through 8~. 

Peak days of fish migration, by species, for the nine-year period are presented in table 86. 

130. The maximum number of salmonids counted in one day in 1962 was 

9,286, tabulated on 11 September, and the maximum dai~ count of miscellaneous 

fish was ~,936, recorded on. 16 October. The maximum dai~ count of all 

species combined was 10,979 on l~ September. 

131. Month~ counts of salmon and steelhead trout for the years 

195~-1962 are shown in tables 87 through 90 and year~ totals of miscellaneous species counted over the same period are presented in table 91.

of salmonid runs at McNary Dam for the years 1954-1962. Daily river discharges, water temperatures and turbidity readings are depicted on plate 28. 

135. The location of main and appurtenant fish facilities at McNary 

Dam are shown in relation to other features on General Site Plan plate 32. 

Spring Chinook Salmon 

(1 April-15 June) 

136. The spring chinook count of 57,733 ranked fifth for the nineyear period of count and was 3 per cent above the average yearly count of 

56,134. The peak of the spring run, when 3,565 were recorded, occurred on 

3~. The spring run comprised 38 per cent of the total chinook count. See 

tables 69, 70, 86, 87 and plates 1 and 9. 

Summer Run Chinook Salmon 

(16 June-31 August) 

137 • The total summer run chinook count 58,227 ranked seventh in 

39 
McNal:"y Dam 

the period of count from 1954-1962 and was 25 per cent below the nine-year 


average of' 77,315. The maximum daily count of' 2, Boo occurred on 23 June. 


The summer run total amounted to 38 per cent of' the total chinook run. 


See tables 69, 70, 86, 87 and plates 1 and 9. 


Fall Chinook Salmon 

(1 September-31 October) 

138. The f'all chinook count of' 36,796 was slightly aver the nineyear average of' 35,952. The peak daily count was 3,011 on 11 September. 

Again, the peak has occurred within the period of' 10-17 September in which 

the f'all run has peaked over the nine years of count. The f'all chinook run 

comprised 24 per cent of' the total chinook count. For pertinent data, see 

tables 69, 70, 86, 87 and plates 1 and 9. 

Chinook Jacks or Grilse 

139. Chinook jacks, small prematured male chinook salmon, constituted 

14.6 per cent of the total chinook count. Jacks were not tallied separately 

until af'ter 15 May in the 1962 season, but are included in all the chinook 

counts. A maximum length of' 18 inches has been used to designate chinook 

jacks, except in 1955 and 1956 when a maximum length of' 24 inches was used 

at the request of' the Oregon Fish Commission. The number and per cent of' 

chinook jacks counted over each f'ishladder are shown in table 93. 

Blueback Salmon 

140. The blueback salmon count of' 29, J72 was the second lowest since 

counting began in 1954. This total amounted to 35 per cent of' the nineyear average of 84,117, and 17 per cent of' the peak year count of' 173,758 

40 

McNary Dam 

in 1955. The peak of the run occurred on 11 July with a count of 2,454. 

The number and per cent of blueback salmon counted over each fishladder 

are presented in table 94. See also tables 69, 86 and 88 and plates 2 and 

10. 

Silver Salmon 

141. The silver salmon total count of 3,195 was the highest for the 

period 1954-1962. This count was 88 per cent higher than the nine-year 

average of 1,697. The maximum daily count of 207 occurred on 9 September. 

See tables 69, 86, 89 and plates 3 and 11. 

Chum Salmon 

142. No chum salmon were tabulated in 1962. 

Steelhead Trout 

143. A record number of 163,181 steelhead trout passed McNary Dam 

in 1962 which was 48 per cent higher than the previous high count of 

110,475 in 1959, and 69 per cent higher than the nine-year average of 96,789. 

The maximum daily count of 6,422 occurred on 9 September. For pertinent 

data, see tables 69, 70, 86 and 90 and plates 4 and 12. 

Maximum Abundance and YearlY Percentage of 


Salmonids Counted Over Each Fishladder 


144. The maximum daily count of all species of salmonids combined 

occurred on 11 September with a total of 9,286. This number was composed 

of 3,011 chinook, 190 silvers and 6,085 steelhead. Of this total, 90.0 

per cent passed through the Oregon counting station. 

41 
McNary Dam 

145. The yearly percentage use of fishladders by all salmonid species 

for the years 1954-1962 is shown in table 97. 

Miscellaneous Species 

146. ~. The 1962 shad count of 12,847 is almost four times greater 

than the total numbers of shad counted in the years 1954-1961 combined, and 

more than seven times greater than the nine-year average of 1,812. See 

tables 70 and 91. 

141. other Miscellaneous Species. - A total of 301,271 fish other 

than salmonids was counted in 1962, the lowest in the nine-year period, and 

41 per cent below the average of 524,841 for that period. The miscellaneous 

fish count was 47 per cent of the total fish count. For the third time in 

the nine years of counting, the salmonid total was greater than the miscellaneous fish total. Suckers were, as always, the most numerous, comprising 

52 per cent of the miscellaneous fish count. Channel catfish also showed 

a large increase, although not in such large numbers as the shad. A total 

of 56 channel catfish was tabulated in the previous eight years, while 68 

were tallied in 1962. For additional data, see tables 69, 10 and 91. 

Activities and Observations 

148. Fish Locks. The Washington fish lock was operated on an intermittent schedule from May through July to obtain fish for examination in a 

study of Co1umnaris disease by University of Washington personnel. 

149. No operation of the pressure fish lock was performed. 

42 

McNary 	Dam 

150. 	 Fish Counting Schedule 

1 January - 31 March. No counting performed. Ladders open to 

free 	fish passage at all times. 

1 April - 31 Jubr. Sample counting. Counting performed in four­

• 

hour periods, alternating between counting stations, 16 hours daily. Counting station gates remained open at all times. 

1 August - 31 October. Full count. Counting performed from 

4:00 AM to 8:00 PM with counting stations closed to fish passage at night 

but left open during counter rest periods, except as noted in paragraph 152. 

1 November - 31 December. No counting performed. Ladders open 

to free fish passage at all times. 

151. 	 Fish Facilities Repairs and Overhauls. Operation of the overflow 

, 

weir 	entrances for both the Oregon and Washington shore ladders was changed 

.' 

from a 0.3 foot flow-drop over the weirs to a 1.0 foot drop. All weirs are 

now operating with a one-foot-head differential. This was accomplished 

without requiring additional supplemental ~ter by reducing the number of 

operating weirs at each location and adjusting the depth of. the working 

weirs to obtain the one foot head. 

Special Fishery Investigations 

152. Light Attraction of Downstream Migrant Salmonids. This study, 

begun in 1958 at McNary Dam, by the School of Fisheries, University of 

Washington, under contract with the Corps of Engineers' Fishery Research 

Program, continued during 1962. In addition to the itudy on downstream / 

migrant salmonids, studies were also conducted on the effect of different 

methods of lighting, along the collection system, fishladder, and at the 
counting station, on the movement of upstream adult salmon. Night counts 

were performed during part of the fall migration period to test the effect 

of the lighting. These counts were included in the dailY full-time counts 

for the period of operation. 

153. Inspection of Fish for Columnaris Disease. Personnel from the 

Department of Microbiology, University of Washington, made weeklY inspections 

of fish for Columnaris disease, from May through JulY. The fish were 

obtained from the Washington fish lock. 

154. Su~lementa;r Spawning Channel. This facility, built in 1957 

and operated by the Washington Department of Fisheries, under contract 

with the Corps of Engineers, continued operation during 1962. Maintenance 

of the channel was performed by Corps of Engineers' personnel. No major 

revisions Were made this year. 

Fishw~ Operation and Maintenance Costs 

155. The total cost of fishway operation and maintenance in 1962 was 

$91,819.90. 

Weather and River Flow Data 

156. The dailY records of air and water temperatures, river discharges, and turbidity are recorded on the monthlY salmonid fish count 

tables. The dailY turbidity readings, river flow and water temperatures 

are plotted for the year on plate 28.

ICE HARBOR DAM 

SUMMARY 

159. The total of all species of fish counted over Ice Harbor Dam 

during 1962 was 722,129, of which 213,342 were salmonids. 

160. The salmonid count was comprised of 94,301 chinook, 38 blueback, 

3,207 silver salmon and 115,796 steelhead trout. The miscellaneous fish 

count, of 12 species other than salmonids, totaled 508,787. 

161. The month~ totals of all fish counted at Ice Harbor Dam are 

shown in table 98. Dai~ counts, by species, are presented in tables 99 

through 111, inclusive. The peak days of fish migration are listed in 

table 113. The number and per cent of all salmonids counted over each fishladder are shown in tables 114 through 117, inclusive. 

162. In 1962 the maximum number of salmonids counted in one day was 

6,393, tallied on 19 September, and the maximum number of miscellaneous 

fish was 20,556 on 11 June. The maximum dailY count of all species combined was 20,770 on 11 June. 

163. Fish counting was initiated on 1 April and terminated on 

31 October 1962. Both fishladders were in operation through this period. 

164. Various experimental and research studies were conducted during 

the year by representatives of fishery agencies engaged in contracts 

under the Corps of Engineers' Fisheries Research Program. 

165. DailY counts of the four principal salmonid species are plotted 

for comparison with those of Bonneville, The Dalles, and McNary Dams on 

plates 1 through 4. DailY river discharges, water temperatures, and 

turbidity readings are shown on plate 29.

Ice Harbor Dam 

166. The location of main and appurtenant fish facilities at Ice 

Harbor Dam are shown in relation to other features on General Site Plan 

plate 33. An overall view of Ice Harbor Dam is shown in photo l-IH. 

Spring Chinook Salmon 

(1 April-15 June) 

167. A total of 34,171 spring chinook were counted at Ice Harbor 

Dam. This count amounted to 36 per cent of the total chinook run and 59 

per cent of McNary spring chinook count.· The peak. of the spring run occurred 

on 17 May when 2,425 were counted. Pertinent data are found in tables 98, 

113, and 114 and on plate 1. 

Summer Run Chinook Salmon 

(16 June-31 August) 

168. The summer run chinook total was 32,471( These fish accounted 

for 34 per cent of the total run and 56 per cent of the McNary summer chinook 

count. This run reached a peak. count of 2,509 on 28 June. See tables 98, 

, 113, 114 and plate 1. 

Fall Chinook Salmon 

(1 September-31 October) 

169. The total fall chinook run of 27,659 reached a peak. count of 

1,398 on 24 September. These fall run fish amounted to 29 per cent of the 

total chinook run and 75 per cent of the MCNary fall chinook count. For 

additional data, see tables 98, 113, and 114 and plate 1. 
Ice Harbor Dam 

Chinook Jacks or Grilse 

170. These small chinook salmon are not tallied separate~ but are 

included in all chinook counts. 

Blueback Salmon 

171. The blueback salmon run past Ice Harbor Dam was far below all 

expectatiohs. Although the total run in the Columbia River was low, o~ 

38 blueback were tallied into the Snake River. This count amounted to 

slightly over 0.1 per cent of the McNary count. The blueback count at Priest 

Rapids Dam, the next project upstream from McNar,y on the Columbia River 

accounted for over 97 per cent of the McNary count. Tables 98, 113, and 

115 and plate 2 lists pertinent data. 

Silver Salmon 

172. The silver salmon count totaled 3,207. It appears that there 

is considerable error in the identification of silver salmon at dams on 

the Columbia and Snake Rivers. The differentiation of this species from 

chinook salmon is difficult, but steps should be taken to improve the 

counters' ability to identi~ this species. For fUrther information, see 

tables 98, 113, and 116 and plate 3. 

Steelhead Trout 

173. Steelhead trout entered the Snake River in abundance, with 

115,796 or 71 per cent of the McNary count crossing Ice Harbor Dam. This 

count was 5 per cent higher than the previous high steelhead total at 

McNary Dam. of 110,475, recorded in 1959. During frequent spot checks of 

the fish facilities in March, it was noted that only an occasional 

48 
.. 


Ice Rathor Dam 

steelhead was moving upstream. When the first freshet arrived at the end of 

March, steelhead which had probably wintered in the upper McNary pool 

began to move upstream. The April count amounted to 8,758, after which 

the daily passage dropped to a normal summer low run. The peak. daily count 

of 5,313 occurred on 19 September. See tables 98, 113, and 117 and plate 4. 

Maximum Abundance of Salmonids 

Counted Over EaCh Fishladder 

174. The maximum daily count of all species of salmonids combined 

occurred on 19 September with a total of 6,393. This total was composed 

of 932 chinook, 148 silvers and 5,313 steelhead trout. Of these, 88 per 

cent passed through the south ladder. 

Miscellaneous SpeCies 

175. The total of the 12 species of fish other than salmon1ds, was 

508,787, more than twice the number of saJJnonids counted. Suckers were 

the most numerous, comprising 68 per cent of the miscellaneous fish count. 

Significant numbers of bass and channel catfish were also tallied. It 

is of interest that the greatest percentage of the channel catfish would 

have measured about 6 to 12 inches in length. The maximum number of miscellaneous fish counted in one day was 20,556, on 11 June. Of this maximum 

day count, 99 per cent were suckers. 

Activities and Observations 

176. Fish Facilities Operations. The south shore fishladder was 

placed in operation on 24 January 1962. Only one fishway attraction water 

pump could be used because of ice conditions. The south shore fishway system 

was in full operation on 1 February. This system was in continuous operation 
Ice Harbor Dam 

through the rest of the year except for a 3-d~ period from 20 to 22 Februar,y 

when the ladder was unwatered for the installation of staff gages, and on 

16 May it was again unwatered for a 9-hour period to effect repairs on a 

temporar,y dividing screen in the center of the ladder which was used in the 

fishladder evaluation studies (see paragraph 182). 

177. Operation of the north shore fishladder began on 28 March 1962 

on gravity flow only. The north shore attraction water pumps were placed \ 

in operation on 17 April. This system was then in service for the remainder 

of the year. Photo 2~IH. 

178. One of the cofferdam cells in the spill~ discharge area was 

not removed because the arrival of high water made barge operation too 

hazardous in that area. Because of this cell, the spillw~ could not be 

operated in a manner to provide optimum attraction for fish to the north 

shore ladder. 

179. Fish Counting. The fish counters employed at Ice Harbor Dam 

received training at MCNar,y Dam in the summer of 1961, consisting of classroom preparator,y instruction and actual counting under supervision of the 

McNar,y counters. 

lSo. The counting schedule for 1962 was as follows: 

January 1 - Januar,y 23 No fish passage at Ice Harbor Dam. 

January 24 - March 27 Fish passage through south shore ladder only. 

Ladder open to free fish passage. No counting 

performed except for periodic spot checks. 

March 28 - March 31 North shore ladder placed in operation. No fish 

counting performed. Ladders open to free fish passage. 

50 
Ice Harbor Dam 

April 1 - October 31 - Counting performed on l6-hour-per-day basis, from 

4:00 AM to 8:00 PM. 

November 1 - December 31 - No counting performed. Ladders open to free fish 

passage. 

Note: Counting stations were closed to fish passage from 8:00 PM to 

4:00 AM When counters were off duty. Stations remained open during counter 

rest periods and actual count was factored accordingly. 

181. Fish Passage Into Snake River. The numbers of salmonids which 

migrate into the Snake River were counted for the first time. Using the 

McNar,y count as a base, the per cent of migration is as follows: spring 

chinook - 59 per cent, summer chinook - 56 per cent, fall chinook - 75 per 

cent (total chinook - 62 per cent), blueback - 0.1 per cent, silvers ­

100 per cent, and steelhead trout - 71 per cent. The per cent of other 

migrator,y species was: lamprey - 263 per cent, and shad - 2 per cent. 

Some of the discrepancies between the counts at Ice Harbor and McNar,y may 

be accounted for by the fact that McNar,y was on a sample count basis until 

1 August. Lampreys, however, are known to pass thro~gh the picketed leads 

on either side of the counting boards and thereby escape being counted. 

Special Fishe;r Investigations 

182. Fishladder Eyaluation Studies. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, under contract with the Corps of Engineers' Fisheries Engineering 

Research Program, conducted an evaluation study on fish passage through the 

two different sized ladders at Ice Harbor D~; the south ladder being 24 

feet wide with a 1-on-16 slope and the north ladder 16 feet wide with a 

51 

Ice Harbor Dam 

1-on-10 slope. A barrier was constructed down the center of each ladder to 

above water level. Photo 3-IH. A swinging screen was built at the lowest 

end of the divider so that one side or the other was closed to fish passage. 

The orifices of five specific weirs on each ladder were screened so that 

the fish had to rise over the weirs to be counted. Fish were diverted into 

the test section and recorded as they passed these counting stations to determine the rate of passage as they ascended the ladders to the forebay. 

Preliminar.y indications are that there is ver.y little, if any, difference 

in the rate of passage through the two different ladders. 

183. Sonic Tagging Studies. Another study conducted by the U. S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service, under auspices of the Fisheries Research Program was 

the tracking of adult salmonids out of the fishladders and into the forebay. 

Adult chinook and steelhead were captured and tagged with a sonic transmitter. The fish were then released in the upper portion of the fishladders 

and tracked out of the ladder and through the forebay as long as transmissions 

were received. 

184. Inspection of Fish for Columnaris Disease. Personnel from the 

Department of Microbiology, University of Washington, made weekly inspections 

of fish for Columnaris disease, from May through July. 

Fishwgy Operation and Maintenance Cost 

185. The total cost of fishway operation and maintenance in 1962 was 

$43,138.18.

Ice Harbor Dam 

Weather and River Flow Data 

186. The daily records of air and water temperatures, river discharges, and turbidity are recorded on the monthly salmonid fish count 

tables. The daily turbidity readings, river flow and water temperatures 

are plotted for the year on plate 29. 

Visitors 

187. Biologists of several State and Federal fishery organizations 

visited the dam at frequent intervals to inspect the fishway operation.

.1 An audit of the hourly shad oounts for 19:38-1950 was made in 1950, hence the yearl¥ totals for shad and resultant totals for all fish appearing in this re-port differ somewhat from 

those previousl¥ published. 

~ Since the Washington shore ladder forebay counting station was completed in the S'Pl'ing of 1950, the lamprey count can DO lo:Dger be compared with the lamprey counts of 19:;8 through 1949.

11 Small male chinook salmon, approximately 16 to 18 inches in length, 

are tallied as jack salmon at Bonneville Dam. 

Y 	No separate record of jack salmon was kept 1 March thru 10 May. The 

adjusted total for 1962 would be 23,037 jacks based on the assumption 

that the percentage of Jacks prior to 11 May was 8.04~ (the percentage 

computed for the period 11 May to 28 November).
