FOREWORD 

This is a combined report on the migration ot tiBh at Bonneville and 

McNar,y Dams on Columbia River, and the first published report to include 

McNar,y Dam. fishway' operations. Al though the tishways at IIcllary Dam ware 

in operation when the pool was raised in 1953. the actual counting ot tish 

was not initiated until March 15. 1954. 

The statistics shown in this report aN tor the calendar year 1954 

with sUDlDaries ot tish counts by species which provide a continuity' ot 

comparable data tor each calendar year traa 1938 to 1954. inclUsive, tor 

Bonneville Dam, and beginning with 1954 for Kcllary Dam. Briet descrip. 

tions ot investigations and experiments pertol"lll.ed during the year at each 

dam are also included. 

Copies of these annual reports are distributed to tishery agenCies, 

libraries and others interested in these f'i 8heries, wi thin the 11m! ta ot 

copies printed aDd requests received. The use ot abstracts or data trom 

this report is permissible only when credit tor the source is given to the 

Corps ot Engineers. 

A series of tables, plates, drawiDge and photographa are inoluded to 

illustrate and clarity the data in the report on ph;rsical features and 

operational procedures of the fish tacilities at both dams. A nUBber ot 

tables and plates tormerly included in this report on B onnevl lie Dam were 

omi tted this year to conserve space and to reduce the cost ot the coDhined 

report. Adequate cupporting data may be tound either in the tables or 

plates at this report to permit comparison with data tor prior years.

ANNUAL REPORT Oil THE PASSAGE OF FISH 

BONNEVILLE AND MoNARi' DAMS 

CALENDAR YEAR 1954 

BONNEVILLE DAlI 

SUIIIIIIIlry 

1. The total oounts ot nearly all apeoies ot tish tallied at 

Bonneville Dam in 1954 were le8s than the 1953 ooeta. However. the total 

salmonid count tor 1954 was above the l7-year average. 

2. During 1954. a total at 883.128 tish at all speoies were oounted. 

This was a reduotion at 255.500 trom the previous year and 1ea8 than the 

l7-year average. 1938-1954. inolusive. at 94l.363. 

3. The aalmonid count tor 1954 at 632.949 comprised 320.947 ohinook. 

130.1~7 b1uebaok. 4.062 silver, 1.569 ohum. 4 humpbaok salmon and 176.260 

steelhead trout. The total oount at misoellaneous tish was 250.179. 

4. The 1954 spring run ot ohinook salmon showed a deoreaae trom 

1953 but the summer aDd tall res were inoreased. See table 25. 

5. Yearly totals ot all tish whioh asoended Bonneville Dam during 

the period 193B-1954.,inclusive. appear in table 1. Monthly totals tor 

1954 are listed in table 2. Daily records. by months, are compiled in 

tables 3 to 23, inolusive. Peak days at tish Ddgration. by species, tor 

the period 1938-1954. inclusive. are shown in table 24. On June 28. the 

maximum nUDiber ot salmonids were counted over each tish ladder in one day 

during 1954 as explained in paragraph 24, and the maximum nUDiber at Dd 8-

cellaneous tish were coeted on July 7. as explained in paragraph 31. 

Monthly counts at salmon and steelhead trout tor the period 1938-1954. 

1 
inclusive, are shown in tables 25 to 29, inclusive, and miscellaneous 

species counted over the same period are shown in table 30. 

6. Jlild weather prevailed throughout the year wi. th only a ffJW daY'S 

of freezing weather in January and February, and DO extreD18 heat during 

the sumaer months. A total of 73 inches of prec1pi tation was recorded 

during 1954. Plates on weather data have been eliminated in this report. 

7. Fish-counting was initiated on February 28, and disoontinued on 

NOvember 27. 1954, for armua11l1nter maintenance of the fish facilities. 

During periods when fish-counting was discontinued" at least one complete 

fisbway system was continually acoessible for the unimpaired passage of 

upstream migrants. 

8. Considerable biological work was carried on during the period of 

April 11 to Ootober 9. 1954. EXperiments were resumed for oomparison of 

. submerged orifioes versus overflow _irs, and several phases were conduoted to determine fish preference for depths of orifices at entr,y ports in 

the powerhouse fish collection Bystem. Also, tests were continued in 19.)4 

to obtain additional data on the survival rate of fingerling salmon passiDg Bonneville ~ by placing them in gossamer bags attached to delaY'edaction automatically-inflated balloons for retrieving the fish below the 

dam. 

9. For comparison as 11811 as to l1mi t space in this consolidated 

report, plates 1 to 4. inclusive, show the daily fish counts of the four 

principal salmontd species tallied at Bonneville and McRary ~ in 1954.

BONNEVl LLE DAJI 

SEring Chinook Salmon 

(Maroh 1 - May 31) 

11. Spring chinook salmon appeared at appro:d,DIIltely the normal time 

of the year. See plate 5. The spring run total of 134.766 chinook salmon 

was the second highest since fiah-counting was initiated in 1938 and 

almost twioe the l7-year average of 76.730. The peak of abundance was 

reached on Kay 5 when 7.735 ohinook are oounted. Peak days ot fish migration Binoe 1938 are shown in table 24. 

12. The cODlD.ercial fishing season was opened on April 30. 1954. below 

BonneVille Dam. 

13. The n\lDi)er and percentages of spring chinook salmon which asoended each fish ladder are shown for 2-week periods in table 31. The number 

of spring ohinook salmon which asoended the Bradford Island fish ladder 

(~.Ol percent) was below those counted at the washington shore station 

(59'.99 percent). Conversely. in 1953 the number of spring ohinook which 

asoended the Bradford Island ladder (67.85 peroent) was mre than twioe 

the number counted at the ~8hington shore station (32.15 peroent). 

14. The increasing trend in the number of spring chinook salmon 

whioh ascended Bonneville Dam is shown in table 25 and plate 9. 

Summer Run Chinook Salmon 

(June 1 - August 15) 

15. The s'Ulllller run total of 85.682 ohinook salmon shows an inorease 

of 20.825 over the 1953 total ot 64.857. and is a.lm.ost twice the l7-year 

average of 47.812. See table 25. Table 31 shows 64.25 percent of the 

3 
summer run having ascended the washington shore fish ladder and ~5.75 peroent. the Bradtord Island fish ladder in 1954. See plate 10. 

Fall Chinook Salmon 

(August 16 - llovember 28) 

16. The tall run peak was reached·on September 5. 1954. when 8.~12 

chinook salmon ware counted. This tall run peak was slightly higher than 

the spring run peak. See table 24 and plate 5. The 1954 total of' 100,499 

tall run chinook was somewhat greater than the 1953 total ot 97 .. 335, but 

less than the 17-,ear average of 2~1.415. See table 25. Plate 11 111u8-

trates the trend of counts. 

Chinook Jacks or Gri1ae 

17. Small male chinook salmon, approximately 16 to 18 inches in 

length, are tallied as jaok salmon. The number or thi'l speoies ascending 

B0ml8vil1e Dam 1s increasing. In 1953. appro:dmateq 9.69 peroent of the 

total number ot chinook lalmon counted were jacks and in 1954. 15.8 percent were jaoks. The counts ot these smaller male chinook salmon are 

inoluded in the totals shown in table 25. See table 32 also. 

Blueback Salmon 

18. A deorease in the total number ot blueback salmon whioh ascended 

Bonneville Dam in 1954 will be noted in table 26. The total ot 130.107 1s 

the lowest since 1950 but above the l7-,ear average ot 100,513. The peak 

ot abundanoe was reached on June 28 when 10.5~7 blueback 8almon were 

counted. See tables 24 and 26, and plates 2, 6 and 13.

Si1'98r Salmon 

19. Only 4,062 s11Ter salmon were oounted at BOJ1D8Tille Dam in 1954, 

the low.st ooUDt sinoe 1950, aDd about one-half of the 17-year a'98rage of 

8,215.. Data on this speoies are ahcnrn in tables 1, 2, 24, 27 aDd 34; '. 

alao on plates 3, 7 aDd. 14. 

Chum Sa11110D 

20. A total of 1,569 ohum, or dog salmon, _re tallied at BODDev.U1e 

Dam in 1954. The 17-year average 11 1,681. F1sh-oountiag was disoontinued 

at the eDd. ot NoTellber while a aigDitioant D\I1Ii)er ot ohum salmon were 8till 

moviDg upstream. See tables 1, 2, 24, 28 aDd. 35. 

Humpbaok Salmon 

21. Only tour ot these "piDk:" aallllOn were tallied at B0DD8v111e Dam 

in 1954 as shown on tables 1 aDd. 2. 

Stee1bead Trout 

22. The 1954 total ot 176,260 stee1head trout 11 the tourth highest 

ainoe fish-oounting was initiated in 1938 at BonneVille Dam. The 17-18ar 

aTerage i8 1l".~,035. The peak ot abundanoe was reaohed on July' 28 when 

5,631 stee1heada were oounted • 

23. For a number ot years the spring and 8UD11l8r ruDS haft been 

inoreadDg but the fall run8, deoreadag. Looa1 aDgl1Dg pressure bas oontinued hea-vy. A8 usual, a user of 8tee1head8 were found when the fish

steelhead trout is shown on tables 1, 2, 24, 29 and 36; also on plates 4, 

8, 15. 16 and 11. 

Maximum Abundanoe and Yearly Peroentage of Sa!monids Counted 

Over Eaoh Fish Ladder 

24. On June 28, the maximum nWJi)er of aa!monids tallied in one day 

in 1954 at Bonneville Dam waa 14,111, 7,190 asoended the Bradford Island 

fish ladder, aDd 6,981, the washington shore fish ladder • 

. 25- In previous annual reports, the yearly percentages of sa!monids 

oounted over eaoh fish ladder were shown from the year 1946 through the 

ourrent year. Atter oonsiderable effon, data from hourly and daily oounts 

haft been added to this table for the years preoeding 1946 aDd beginniDg 

with 1938 when fish-countiDg was initiated at BonneTtlle Dam. See table 31. 

Population Trends of Salmonid Speoie. at Bonneville Dam 

26. Plates 9 to 18, inolusive, indioate the population trends ot 

salmoDid speoies, inoluding steelhead trout, sinoe fish-counting waa 

initiated in 1938 at Bonneville Dam, but may or may not be indioative ot 

the total abundanoe ot these apeoies in the Columbia RiTer. The method ot 

leaat aquares has been employed in preparing this analysis. 

Misoellaneous Speoies 

Shad 

27.0 Only 5,029 shad asoended the fish ladders at Bonneville Dam in 

1954; the fourth lowest yearly tally sinoe tish-counting was initiated in 

1938. The ~1-year aTerage i, l1,~. See tables 2, 30, 38 and 39. As 

desoribed in earlier reports some ahad tended to sohool in the ladders and 

6 

• 
appeared to make very little ettort to go on upstream. The s-.ll oritices 

mentioned in the 1953 annual report as being installed near the upper end 

ot the fish ladders functioned with a high degree ot suooess in 1954. See 

photo 1. 

Smelt 

28. No smelt are observed at Bonnenlle Dam. in 1954. 

Lamprez 

29. The 1954 total of 40,986 lampreys was the fourth lowest count 

since fish-counting was initiated in 1938 at Bormenlle Dam, and slightly 

le8s than ODe-half of' the 17-year average ot 85,009. This species is 

diminishing in abundance. Lamprey 18 a food ot primary importanoe to 

white sturgeon, and emaciated sturgeon are DOW oommon in the Columbia 

River. See tables 2 and 30. 

Sturgeon 

30. Only one of these gaDOidl ascended the toreb8J' at Bormenlle Dam. 

in 1954. See tables 2 and 30. No ettorts are made to lift sturgeon in 

the tish locks to the f'orebay. Investigations are oarried on during the 

year on other species but DOne on sturgeon due to the lack ot time. One 

local tisherman, who operated several set lines, reported that he quit 

commeroial sturgeon tishing in 1954 beoause ot the dearth ot this speoies. 

Other miloel1aneous speoies 

31. The total count of 11 speoies ot tish ot 1elser importanoe 

amounted to 250,179. This tigure is approximately 81,000 below the 17-year 

average. See tables 2 and 30. On July 7, the maxim.um. number ot these 

lesser speoies counted in ODe day in 1954 was 6,597 at the Bradford Island 

tish ladder, and 3,754 at the washington shore fish ladder, a total ot 

10.,51. 

7 
ActiTities aDd Observations 

Fiah Looks 

32. The washington shore tish look, the on~ one used in 1954 at 

BODDSTille Dam, was operated brietly to oapture a tew tish tor baoteriologists ot the Uni versi ty ot Washington. 

Powerhouse and Bradtord Island Auxilia~ water Soreens

Sections 3, 4 and 7 ot the :powerhouse colleotion syatem were 

overhauled during 1954 and all silt and debris removed. This eutailed 

the usual stop-loggiDg and pumplug to render the diffusion ohambers 

aooessible. All steel was oleaned and repainted" and damaged ditfusion

37. The powerhouse branoh or t~ Bradford I aland tish ladder aDd the 

Washi:ngton shore fish ladder were overhauled and recondi tion.ed in the same 

manner a8 the ditfusion chambers of t~e powerhouse collection system. See

38. The piezometer tubes whioh had been installed in 1953 in the 

auxiliary water conduits ot the powerhouse collection B,1stem to determine 

water pressures were tound torn trom their anohors but were not replaced. 

39. Repair work on the lrashiDgton ahore til ter screens was completed 

on January 28. 

~. For many years, debriS, such as aunken logs, limbs, silt and 

other trash, has colleoted against the trash racks protecting the powarhouse auxiliary water supply screenB. Divers were loath to enter the area 

to open up the tingerling bypass or to clear the tiah lock exit, but in 

January and February a diver was employed to blast areas in order to anohor 

braces and stop log guides so that the trash racks could be moved into a 

north-south position extending trom the powerhouse ottice wall to the 

naVigation lock wall. upon completion ot the work, the area was drained 

on December 14, 1954. Photos 4 and 5 show the accumulation ot debris 

which waa removed by the end ot the year. Hencetorth, the new traah rack 

arrangeJllEtnt will protect the auxiliary water screena trom debris, permit 

the area to be drained tor oleaning, painting, repair and removal ot ail t,

Special Fishe~ Investigations 

Trapping Facilit,y 

41. In the late spring, contractors tor the U. S. Fish and Wildlite 

Service completed construction ot the tish-trapping and tank-loading 

tacilit,y located at the washington shore oounting station. See photo 6. 

This trap was used trom July 12 to 14 to capture a number ot summer run 

chinook tor transfer to the ~ee station on land River where these ohinook 

10 
were successfully spawned late in the fall. The operation of this trap 

has proved satisfactory. 

Seiohe Experiment 

42. Field studies of the bloodsl and trinodal seiche osoillations 

which oan be created at will in the Washington shore .fi8h ladder by reducing the quantity of water in the ladder were made prior to initiating a 

more detailed study of seiche osoillations in the McNary Dam fish ladder. 

These phenomena were first observed in the 1947 tunnel experiment which is 

desoribed in paragraph SO. "Darkn~8s Experiment" of the 1948 annual report 

on the passage ot fish over Bonneville ~. 

Submerged Orifice Research 

43. The investigations which had been deferred in 1953 were resumftd 

after speoial oririces were construoted and tailwater measuring devioes 

were installed. TheS8 investigations were under way during the period from 

April 11 to October 1. Shallow sUbmerged orifices. from 2 to 8 feet belaw 

the tail~~ter surface proved superior to all other types ot entry conditions. A fww test runs indicated that normal attraction flows ~re more 

effective than one-half the normal flow. The following phases of tests 

were madel 

a. Shallow submerged oririoes versus overflow weirs. 

b. Shallow submerged or~1eeB versus deep~y 8ubmerged orifioes. 

c. Shallow submerged orifi ces versus two intermediate depths 

of orifioes. 

d. Normal flow versus one-halt attraction flow. 

11 
Fingerling SUrYi val Experiments 

44. Addi tiona1 experimentation was conducted in 1954. to improve the 

techni~ues necessar,y to retrieve small salmon trom the tailrace atter 

passage through the powerhouse turbines and over the spillway. The fingerling salmon were placed in gossamer bags to whioh automatically-inflated 

rubber balloons were attached and sent through the powerhouse and spillway 

dam. The delayed-action timing devices caused the balloons to inflate in 

the tailrace thus bringing the tish to the surface where they were 

retrieved and examined. Approximately 5,000 fingerling salmon were used 

in these experiments. A large percentage or these fingerlings were 

retrieved and examined by personnel of the Corps of Engineers and the 

U. S. Fish and 'Wildlife Service who assi.sted in these experiments. The 

data collected in these experiments are in the process ot evaluation. 

Although improvements in the various teohniques of retrieving fingerlings 

were continually being evolved, lack of communication equipment between 

the dam and the retrieving parties in boats downstream seriously hampered 

the work. 

45. Several suooessful experiments were made in passing pressurized 

fingerlings through the p01U8rhouse after -z:w- difricul ties were overcome 

in the design of a pressure chamber. The fish which were passed through 

the turbines under pressure were held over night or over a week end at 

the bottom ot the intake tube wi th some head space of ai r provided above 

the fish. Even when held do'~ tor three days, the "pressurized" fish 

survived the passage through the powerhouse. 

12 
Fishway Operation and Maintenance Costs 

46. The total cost in 1954 of fishway operation and maintenanoe. 

including fish-counting but excluding research and experimental investigations~ was $119.248.26. 

Weather and River Flow Data 

47. Daily reoords of weather conditions are shown on the monthly 

tables of salmonid fish counts beginning with table 3. Daily reoordings 

in graphic form have been omitted to conserve spaoe in this combined 

report. The daily turbidity readings. river flow. and water temperatures 

are plotted for the year on plate 19.

Summal7 

48. The total of all species of fish oounted at McNary Dam during 

1954 was 1,062,104 of which 310,746 were sabDonids. 

49. The aalm.onid cO\mt was comprised of 126,555 chinook, 108,181 

blueback, 950 silTer, 1 chum salmon and 75,059 steelbead trout. The total 

of 751,358 miscellaneous fish comprised 14 species. 

50. The monthly totals of all species of fish counted at McNary Dam 

are shown in table 40. Daily records, by months, are shown in tables 41 

to 62, incluaiTe. Peak days of fish migration, by species, are shown in 

table 63. 

51. Fish-countin~ was initiated on March 15 and discontinued on 

BoveDber 30, 1954. Atter regular counting was disoontinued, one fish 

ladder was shut do'WD for DOrmal winter maintenance and repair while the 

other ladder remained complete~ aocessible for the unimpaired passage of 

upstream migrants. 

52. A special winter count of fish was begun on December 20 to be 

continued until the DOrmal starting date of fish-counting in March 1955 in 

order to ascertain the number of fish seeking upstream passage during the 

winter months. 

53. Prelimina~ experiments were performed on the pressure fish 

look to determine the efficlena,y of this fish-passing facility. The results obtained indicate that this fish lock will lift fish over the dam. 

14 
Innufficient fish were L~11able during these experiments to determine the 

optimum exit time - a factor which would determine the praot108b111~ of 

thi~ faoility in similar in8t~11ations.

Spring Chinook Salmon 

(March 15 - June 20) 

, 

57. SpriDg ohinook appeared on April 13 in consistent and increasing 

nwrbers. and reached the peak of abundance on May 12 when 6.571 were 

counted. See tables 45 and 63. and plate 1. The total of 61.443 spring 

chinook salmon oomprised 48.5 percent ot the total chinook run. 

58. A breakdown of the number and percent ot chinook salmon which 

ascended each fish ladder appears in table 64. The number which ascended 

the Oregon fish ladder was 66.7 peroent ot the total run ot 8pring chinook 

salmon. 

Summer Run Chinook Salmon 

(June 21 - August 26) 

59. Summer run chinook reaohed a peak ot 2.565 on Ju~ 5. See tables 

51 and 63. and plate 1. The total ot 55.412 8ummer run chinook comprised 

43.8 percent ot the total chinook run. Ot these summer run chinook. 61.9 

percent were counted at the Wa8hington shore fish ladder. 

Fall Chinook Satmon 

(August 'Z7 - November 30) 

60. The fall run reached a peak of 906 on September 12. See tables 

55 and 63. and plate 1. The total ot 9.682 tall run chinook was 7.65 percent ot the total run of chinook which ascended McNa~ Dam and less than 

10 percent ot the tall run which passed Bonneville Dam. at these fall 

run chinook at McNary Dam. 60.4 percent ascended the Washington shore 

fish ladder. 

16 
61. Considering the number ot fish taken by hatoheries, and spawning in the main river and tributaries, the' number ot tall chinook which 

asoended lIoNary Dam was muoh le88 than the most conservatl ve estimate. 

'lhe most probable explanation is perhaps the heavy fishing ot tall run 

chinook above Bonneville Dam. 

Chinook Jaoks or Grille 

62. 'lhese are small male ohinook salmon, approximate~ 16 to 18 

inohes in length. 'lhese fish are counted separately but are included in 

the spring, summer and tall run chinook counts. See plate 1. 'lable 65 

showa the number and percent of chinook jack salmon counted over each 

fish ladder at McHary Dam in 1954. 'fhese chinook jaok salmon made •. up 

15.8 percent of the total chinook run. 

Bluebaok Salmon 

63. 'lhe total bluebaok run 01' 108,181 was slightly les8 than the 

ohinook run (126.555). 'lhe peak 01' abundance was 'reached on July 9 when 

6.198 bluebaoks were counted. See tables 51, 63 and 66, and plate 2. 

Table 66 shows the number and percent of bluebaok salmon .nich ascended 

each fish ladder at McNary Dam. About three times a. m&Df ascended the 

washington shore fish ladder (14.6 percent) a. the Oregon tish ladder 

(25.4 percent). 

64. A total 01' 91,234 blueback salmon reached Rock Island Dam, 

about 161 miles above McN'ary Dam. the total oount at Rock I sland Dam was 

70 percent and B4 peroent, respeotively, of the oounts at Bonneville and 

11 
)(oNary Dams. The percentage ot the Bonneville Dam count In 1954 (70 peroent) was oDly exoeeded (75 peroent) in 1945. 

811 ver Salmon 

65. A total ot 950 slIver aalmon were oounted at Mol'ar;y Dam ln 1954 

wi th a peak of 79 recorded on September 11. Pertinent data relatlve to 

the al1ftr 8almon count appeal' in table. 55. 63 aM 67. 'and plate 3. 

Chum Salmon 

66. On Ootober 17. one chum salmon waa recorded at MoNary Dam. the 

only one observed during the fish-oounting period 1n 1954. 

Steelhead Trout 

67. A total ot 75.059 steelhead trout were counted at McNar;y Dam In 

l~. The heaviest passage was reoorded in August and September. The 

peak of abundance was reaohed on September 10 when 1.285 ateelhead were 

counted. See tables 55 and 63. and plate 4. The percentage use of each 

tish ladder 1s shown in table 68: 54.8 peroent ascended the washington 

8hore tish ladder and 45.2 percent. the Oregon ladder. While the Oregon 

flsh ladder waa being umratered on December 2. tor maintenance and repalr. 

1.571 8teelhead were removed from the deep water in the upper portion ot 

the ladder and released in the torebay. This number exceeded the 1.527 

swelhead which aBcended the Oregon ladder during the entire month ot 

I'ovember. 

18 
Miscellaneous Species 

68. The total count of 14 different species of fish, other than 

sa1monids, aJDO\mted to 751,358, or mre than twice the total salmonid 

count. See table 40 and tabulations for each month, March to December, 

inclusive. Suokers,which totaled 499,375, were the most numerous and. 

accounted for approximately one-half ot the total of all fish counted at 

McNary Dam in 1954. It is significant to note the contrast in the number 

ot food fish, such as trout, whitetish and bass, which ascended the dam. 

lnlitetiab, which totaled 99,851, were counted each month during the tishcounting period. This is a sport fish but is not considered as valuable 

tor tood in the Northwest as in the East. Only 35 trout and 75 bass were 

tallied at McNary Dam in 1954. 

Activities and Observations 

Instruction for Fishway Operators and Fish Counters 

69. A formal course 01' instruction was conducted at McNary Dam tor 

all tishway operators and fish counters and covered general background 

subjects which included the fish tacilit.y installation at McNary, history 

and development of the commercial salmon industry on the Columbia River, 

lite history and habits 01' salmon and steelhead, and instruction on the 

identification 01' all species ot tish present in the Columbia River at the 

dam. 

Generator Installation 

70. Four main generators were installed by the end 01' December. As 

each unit was activated, the amount ot water which passed through the 

19 
draft tubes increased and widened the tailraoe floW' pattern northward 

across the powerhouse oreating a greater current along the Oregon shore 

downstream from the dam than along the .8hin~n shore. 

Powerhouse Fish Colleotion Channel 

71. The 44 entrance bays of the powerhouse fish colleotion channel 

were plaoed in operation in 1954. All weirs were operated as overflow 

weirs during 1954. The weirs were plaoed in operation on the tollowing

Pressure Fish Lock 

73. This look. an experimental fish-p~8sing device. located in the 

south nonoverflow seotion of the dam, 'WaS operated in the tall ot 1954. 

A series of experiments were conduoted to determine the injuries, it anr, 

to fish during lookageJ the actions of the tish (as observed through the 

view window), and to gain information ot an optimum. lookage time and 

capaci V. A total ot 199 lookages were oompleted in these experiments. 

During. the trial runs, 15 ohinook salmon, 291 steelhead, 15 silver salmon 

and 55,224 other fish _" lifted to the forebay. An exit period ot 5 

minutes reBul ted in an effioiency ot 75 peroent tor salmonida as oompared 

wi tb an exit perIod ot one hour or longer which had an eftioieno;y of 96 

percent. Overnight lockages were 100 percent effioient in fish leaving 

20 
the look chamber. No apparent injuries resulted fram these lookages. 

Further experiments are proposed for 1955. 

'ahington Entranae Bays, North and South Fish Entrance Bays, and Closed 

Fishway Channel 

74. The entrances to the fish ladders were in normal operation 

throughout the year. See photos 7, 8, 9 and 10. Photo 9 shows the entranoe 

and alao a general view 01' the Washington shore fish ladder with typical 

flow over weirs. The transportation ohannel leading from the entrance at 

the south side of the spillway to the junotion pool at the south eDd ot the 

powerhouse was operated in a Dermal marmer throughout the season except for 

a short period in the fall when the flow was reversed in an effort to provide more fish for the pressure fish-lock studies. 

Fishway Pumps 

75. All three ot the fishway pumps were installed in 1954. See 

photo 11. These pumps have a capaoit,y of 2,500 o.t.s. eaoh and supplY 

fishway attraotion water to the lower eDd of the Oregon fish ladder, the 

powerhouse oolleotion ohannel and the large diffusion chamber at the fish 

entrance in the south DODOwrtlow seotion. During the year, 12.275,000 

lew-hrs ot electr10it,y was consUllI!Jd to operate the tishway pumps. This 

eleotricity, it valued at 2 mills per kw-hr, would amount to 124.550.00. 

Fish-counting Sohedule - 1954 

76. Jan. 1 - Mar. 14 - Ho oounting performed. Fish passage was 

maintained through the oounting stations at 

all tim.es. Until the wiDg gates at the 

oounting stations W9re installed, the entire 

width of the ladders was open to fish passage. 

21 
Mar. 15 - Apr. 25 - Counters on du~ tor 8 hours daily, one at 

each station. 

Apr. 26 - Nov. 6 - Counters on duty tor two 8-hour shifts, 

oounting 16 hours daily. 

Nov. 1 - Nov. 30 - Counters on dut,y tor 8 hours daily, one at 

eaoh station. 

Deo. 1 - Dec. 19 - Fish-oounting disoontinued. Fish were tree 

to pass upstream through the counting station ot the Washington shore tish ladder. 

The Oregon tish ladder was olosed tor 

main tanance. 

Dec. 20 - Dec. 31 - Counters on du~ tor 8 hours daily at the 

Washington shore tish ladder only. 

Note: Counting stations ware olosed to fish passage during hours in whioh 

counters were otf duty. 

Downstream Mortality Studies 

17. Weekly trips along each shore line ot the river downstream trom 

MoNary Dam, tor a distance ot 10 miles. were begun in the late summer ot 

1954 to ascertain the salmon and steelhead mortality between McNary Dam 

and Patterson Ferry. During six weeks ot observation, the nUllber of dead 

salmon and steelhead was very small, i.e., only one salmon and four steelhead were observed. This study will be resumed in 1955. 

Fishway Construction and Repairs 

18. During the year 1954, ma~ features ot the various fish facilities at McNary Dam. 'Ware oompleted. All of the wing gates were installed 

22 
\ 

in the powerhouse colleotion channel. The picket and soreen assembly on 

the north end of the powerhouse collection ohannel was installed. Weights 

were added to the driving chains on each of the telesoopio weirs in the 

powerhouse oolleotion channel in order that the ohains Ddght remain tight 

and positively engaged on the shaft sprookets to prevent slippage. 

79. Various oomponents ot the eleotrical control system ot the 

pressure fish look were complsted. 

80. The operating machiner,y and manual controls tor all entranoe 

weirs were installed and placed in operation. Operating machiner.y and 

oontrols tor all tilting and regulating weirs at the upper end ot the tish 

ladders were installed and wired for manual operation. The installation 

ot the counting-house operating machiner,y and controls on eaoh fish ladder 

were finished as well as the controls for the traveling fish soreens on 

the Oregon shore. 

81. During the year, work was aocomplished but installation was not 

oompleted on the various components of the washington fish look. 

82. The picketed lead seotions ot the wing gates at the counting 

stations were originally covered with wire mesh soreen on the downstream 

side of the pickets. Debris whioh became lodged between the pickets and 

screen oaused considerable headwater to back up on the screen and prevented raking the pickets. The wire mesh soreen was removed to remedy 

this situation. 

83. A metal canopy or shade was plaoed over each fish-counti~ board. 

A light bulb with reflector was placed in the top of the shade for night 

counting. See photo 12. An adjustable matal shade was plaoed on the 

downstream side of the barrier soreen of the counting stations so that 

23 
the wili te cOWltiDg boards 'WOuld remain in shadow. Soreens were plaoed on 

the aide. ot the oounting boards to impel the tish to swim tarther ac1"OSS 

the boards betore turning, thus enabling tish-counters eallier identitioation of the fiah. 

84. During wuwater1ng operations at eaoh fi.h ladder, considerable 

rubbish and debris, suoh al damaged buokets, oans, reiDtoroing steel, hats, 

tools, and water-logged lUDber, were oleaned trom the floor ot the various 

colleotion W,1stem ohannels and the ladder it.elt. A tew dittusion ohamber 

gratings Which had become dislodged were replaoed. 

'ishwal Operation and Maintenanoe Costs
