FOREWORD 

This annual report provides statistical data on the passage of fish 

and information on the operation of fishways and other activities affecting fish passage at Bonneville, The Dalles and McNar,y Dams during calendar year 1961. 

Fish counting was conducted at the above projects in 1961 during 

the inclusive periods shown below: 

Bonneville 1 March - 30 November 

The Dalles 4 April - 28 October 

McNar,y 1 April - 31 October 

The fish facilities at Bonneville Dam have been in operation for 

twenty-four year~at McNar,y for eight years and The Dalles for five years. 

The report contains in addition to detailed records of fish passage 

during 1961, a continuous condensed record of fish passage at each of 

the projects from the time that the fish passage facilities were put in 

operation. Also included are photos to supplement descriptive information and general site maps to show the general location of project fish 

facilities and other physical features. Biological investigations and 

research performed during the year at each dam are described briefly. 

This report is distributed to biologists, State and Federal fisher,y 

departments, libraries and other agencies and individuals interested in 

these fisheries, within the limits of copies printed and requests 

received. The use of information or data from this report is permissible 

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

ANNUAL REPORl' OF THE PASSAGE OF FISH 


BONNEVILLE, THE DALLES AND McNARY DAMS 


CALENDAR YEAR 1961 

BONNEVILLE DAM 


Sunnnary 


1. A total of 1, 196,725 fish of all species were counted at the 

Bonneville Dam fish counting stations during calendar year 1961. The 

24-year average is 939,454. The chinook salmon total for the year was 

281,980 which is below the 1938-1961 average of 351,042. All spring 

and summer run fish counts show an ascending trend line, whereas, fall 

chinook, steelhead and silver salmon counts continued to decline. The 

entire salmonid count of 443,174 consisted of 281,980 chinook, 17,111 

blueback, 3,456 silver, 896 chum, 12 humpback, and 139,719 steelhead 

trout. 

2. Yearly totals of all fish counted over Bonneville Dam from 1939 

through 1961 appear in table 1. Monthly totals for 1961 are listed in 

table 2. Daily records, by months, are compiled in tables 3 to 20, 

inclUsive. Peak days of fish migration counts of salmonids and shad 

by species, from 1938 through 1961 are shown in table 21. Monthly 

records of salmon and steelhead trout for the period 1938-1961 are shown 

in tables 22-26, inclusive, and annual totals for miscellaneous species 

counted during the same time are shown in table 27. 

3. In 1961 the greatest number of salmonids counted in one day was 

11,852 on 6 September. The greatest number of miscellaneous species was 

42,444 on 4 July, which was also the day of the greatest total of all 

1 
species ascending the ladders, 44,817. The daily fish ~ounts of the 

four principal salmonid species at Bonneville, The Dalles and McNary Dams 

during 1961 appear graphically on plates 1, 2, 3 and 4. 

4. Fish counting at Bonneville Dam was resumed on 1 March. The 

counting station gates remained open day and night. Sample counting was 

conducted by alternating at 4-hour intervals between the Bradford Island 

station and the Washington shore station until 11 April, when 3 more 

counters were assigned for full time counting, 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. 

The 1961 counting schedule is shown in paragraph 23. 

5. As has been the case in previous years, at least one complete 

fishway system was available for the passage of migrant fish during the 

annual fish facility overhaul period. 

6. The location of fish facilities and other structures at the 

Bonneville Project are shown on photograph 1-B and on the General Site 

Map CL-144-54. 

7. A total of 81.57 inches of precipitation was recorded in 1961. 

The maximum 1961 air temperature of 104 degrees F. was recorded on 

12 July and the minimum for the year was 19 degrees F. which occurred 

on 11 December. 

Spring Run Chinook Salmon 

1 March - 31 May 

8. The 98,695 spring chinook tally was above the 24-year average 

of 82,523. See table 22 and plate 5. The maximum one-day count of 

spring run chinooks was 7,620 on 27 April. The peak days of abundance 

of this, and other species, are shown in table 21. Table 28 shows the 

number and percentage of the spring run that ascended each fish ladder. 

2 

The spring fish comprised 35 percent of the total chinook count. See 

table 29. Plate 13 shows the trend of the spring run chinook salmon 

count at Bonneville Dam. 

Summer Run Chinook Salmon 

1 June - 15 August 

9. The summer chinook total of 72,843 fish was well over the 24­

year average of 63,579. On 19 June, the day of greatest abundance, 

3,322 of these fish were tabulated. See table 21. Percentages of 

summer chinook counted at each ladder in 1961 and the percentages of 

this run to the total chinook count for each year 1938-1961, inclusive, 

are shown in tables 28 and 29 respectively. Plate 14 shows a very 

slight ascending trend line of these fish. 

Fall Run Chinook Salmon 

16 August - 30 November 

10. The 110,442 fall run chinook tallied in 1961 is below the 24­

year average of 204,940. The greatest one-day count occurred on 6 September when 8,210 of these fish passed over the dam. The spring, summer 

and fall chinook counts are shown on plate 5. Table 29 shows the number 

and percentage of totals of the spring, summer and fall runs for the 

period 1938-1961, inclusive. The fall run chinook trend line shown on 

plate 15 shows a decline in the number of this segment of the total 

chinook migration counted each year. 

Chinook Jacks or Grilse 

11. The 29,736 fish recorded as Jacks, or grilse, constitutes 10.55 

percent of the total 1961 run of chinook salmon. See table 31. The 

24-year average is 10.62 percent. The distribution by number and percentage of the jack salmon count for the two fish ladders is shown in table 30. 

3 
Blueback Salmon 

12. A total of 17,111 blueback salmon was counted in 1961. See 

table 32. The average is 102,983. This run peaked on 2 July with 1,037 

fish. The 1961 blueback count at The Dalles Dam was 16,689 and 16,388 

were recorded at McNar,y Dam. Rock Island fish counters enumerated 19,233 

blueback salmon. It is possible that the above discrepancy between the 

blueback count at Rock Island the the three Corps projects may be due, at 

least partially, to the fact that a significant number of bluebacks may 

have passed the Corps projects without being enumerated. There was reliable evidence at Bonneville Dam that an undetermined number of blueback 

salmon and shad migrated upstream through the navigation lock. As shown 

on plate 17 the Bonneville blueback annual total counts have dropped considerably since 1955; however, the drop has not been sufficient to reverse 

the upward rise in the overall trend line. 

Silver Salmon 

13. The 3,456 silver salmon tabulated in 1961 was far below the 

average of 6,972 for the 24 years of fish counting at Bonneville Dam. 

Plate 18 indicates a declining trend. Additional data are shown on 

tables 21, 24, 33 and 37, as well as plates 3, 7 and 18. No night count 

percentages were available and none were applied. 

Chum Salmon 

14. Only 896 chum salmon were tallied at Bonneville in 1961. Special counts were made from 6:30 to 8:00 a.m. for 20 days to tr,y to determine whether they might be passing before the counters came on duty, but 

only 82 were counted during the one and one-half hour counting periods. 

Four hundred ninety seven individuals of the subject species (keta), 

4 

including the 82 mentioned above, were recorded during the period of study. 

The average annual count of this species is 1,393 fish. Tables 1, 2, 21, 

25 and 34 show comparative data. No night count percentages were applied 

as none were available. A few chum salmon were still migrating upstream 

when fish counting was discontinued for 1961 at the Bonneville counting 

stations. 

Humpback Salmon 

15. Twelve humpback salmon were observed at Bonneville Dam in 1961 

and 	four at The Dalles Dam. 

Steelhead Trout 

16. A total of 139,719 steelhead were tabulated at Bonneville in 

1961. See table 36. The 24-year average is 143,000. Plates 19, 20 and 

21 show the trends of the various runs of steelhead. The plotted daily 

counts of the steelhead runs are shown on plate 4. 

Maximum 	Abundance and Yearly Percentage of 

Salmonids Counted Over Each Fish Ladder 

17. The day of greatest abundance of salmonid fish passage came on 

6 September, when 11,852 salmon and steelhead were recorded. Of this, 

74.07 percent were observed at the Bradford Island station, and 25.93 

percent at Washington shore station. The comparative usage of the fish 

ladders by salmonid species for the period 1938-1961 is shown in table 37. 

MiscelJaneous SpeCies 

18. Detailed statistical data pertaining to miscellaneous fishes 

other than salmonids are presented in tables 1, 2, 27, 38, 39 and 40 and 

population trends are shown on plates 23, 24 and 25. Miscellaneous 

species of fish, not including lamprey, moved most abundantly 4 July When 

5 

42,444 miscellaneous fish were counted. The peak of the lamprey count 

was 18,983 on 15 July. 

19. Smelt. No smelt were observed in the vicinity of Bonneville 

Dam in 1961 nor have there been since 1953. 

20. Shad. - a. Approximately 2.8 times more shad were counted over 

Bonneville Dam in 1961 than the highest count for any prior year. In 

fact, the sizeable run of 93,368 in 1960 and the great 1961 run of 

265,697 shad changed the earlier downward trend line to one that ascends 

rather steeply. See plate 23, table 40 and previous Annual Reports. The 

superabundance of this species in 1961 remains unexplained. Fish counters 

at The Dalles Dam tallied 113,229 shad and 1,612 were counted at McNar,y. 

~. An aggregation of shad and some blueback salmon was evident in 

the navigation lock approach canal below the powerhouse for a period of 

time prior to their ascent in numbers over the ladders. The fact that 

dipnetters at the old Cascade Locks were catching shad and blueback before 

any of these species had been counted through the fishways, gives reasonable evidence that many of them attained the forebay via the navigation 

lock. Smelt, shad and blueback have been observed in the Bonneville lock 

in earlier years and it is known that blueback went through the navigation 

lock at McNar,y during its construction. Records also show that fish use 

navigation locks in Europe. 

£. Mr. Harlan B. Holmes and Mr. Milo C. Bell, Consultants on design 

of the Bonneville fish facilities, were retained by the Pennsylvania State • \ ­

Fish Commission to devise a plan whereby shad runs can be reestablished 

above two dams on the Susquehanna River. More shad ascend the Bonneville 

fishways than at any other known location; hence, these facilities were 

6 
selected for experiments. The particular item of study at Bonneville was 

the trapping, transporting and holding of adult shad for application in 

rehabilitation in the Susquehanna River. As a necessary preliminary 

phase of this work a study was made of anaesthetizing the fish to facilitate sorting the shad from a mixture of several species of fish. A 

trap installed in the North Shore ladder by the Fish and Wildlife Service, 

for collecting salmon for transplantation served admirably for collection 

of the adult shad. Two hundred of these were transported in severalhour trips by tank truck to simulate transfer to remote release Sites, 

then were deposited in a large dirt-bottom pond at the Bonneville Hatchery, which was supplied with a constant flow of river water. The fish 

were successfully held until after they had spawned. Fertilized eggs 

were collected from the pond and spawn collected from a pair of fish was 

incubated artificially. 

c. A puzzling phenomenon relating to shad was observed above 

Bonneville powerhouse during September. An eddy exists north of a wingwall which extends into the forebay between units 6 and 7. Hundreds of 

adult shad collected in the vortex area. During daylight periods in 

September dozens of these fish could be seen leaping completely out of 

the water as if in exuberance or perhaps, in frustration. Only once 

before has such shad activity been seen at Bonneville, and that occurred 

in 1938 when the present fishway foreman noted the fish saltation below 

the spillway dam. In July one of the fish counters saw four or five 

adult shad vault over the counting board. Ordinarily this species only 

"cut" the water's surface in their gambols. During the last week in 

September, another shad display was noted in the above powerhouse forebay 

7 

area when dozens of fingerling approximately 2 inches long also leaped or 

were thrown as high as 18 inches out of the water. These jumps were always 

associated with the rushes and lunges of the adult fish. The fingerling 

could have been hurled out of the water by the inertia of the large fish, 

or they could have sprung out of the water by their own energy in evading 

the pursuit or sudden approach of the adult shad. No small fish were 

observed being thrown from the mouths of the larger sapidissima, nor did 

anyone see any shad bite, injest or envelope any young fish, but the 

incidence of the juveniles in the air always occurred with the upward surge 

and aerial bound of an adult shad. All shad had disappeared from the area 

by 16 October. 

21. Sturgeon. No sturgeon were tabulated in 1961. However, several 

small sturgeon were obtained from the station service unit draft tube 

recesses for air shipment by the Fish and Wildlife Service to Kobe, Japan 

aquarium. Sturgeon fishermen were observed a number of times using a sea 

sled and a model airplane engine to carry the baited hooks out into the 

middle of the river below the spillway dam. 

22. Lamprey. The 364,805 lamprey count for 1961 is the greatest 

ever recorded at Bonneville Dam. The 1.541 factor applied to compensate 

for the night ~eriod when the counting station gates were open and no 

counting being conducted indicates the nocturnal movement of these animals. In February, prior to construction of a concrete baffle in diffusion chamber no. 4 of the "A" branch ladder, it took a crew of six men 

nearly seven hours to rescue twenty-seven mine buckets of lamprey (a mine 

bucket measures 20 inches in diameter by 30 inches deep). The dark 

color of these lamprey indicated that they had been present for weeks. 

8 

Fish Counting Schedule - 1961 

23. The counting gates remained open at all times. 

1 January - 28 February - No counting was performed. Fish were free to 

pass through the open gates. 

1 March - 10 April Sample counting; one counter on duty 8 hours a 

day. Four 50-minute hours at each station, 

8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Total 8 hours of counting per day. 

11 April - 30 September - Four counters on duty, 4:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. 

1 October - 30 November - Two counters on duty, 8 hours per day, 8:00 a.m. 

to 4:00 p.m. 

1 December - 31 December - No counting performed. 

Modification of Bradford Island Fish Ladder 

24. The"A" and "B" branches of the Bradford Island fishway were 

modified in connection with a study to pass migrating fingerling through 

the fishway auxiliary water supply conduits. The end purpose of the 

experiment is the elimination of fingerling mortality problems at the 

fishway auxiliary water supply screens by removal of the screens. 

25. Fingerling passage tests conducted during 1952, 1958 and 1959 

indicated that, by maintaining low water pressure differentials between 

the auxiliary conduits and the diffusion chambers, fingerling passage 

mortality could be held down to acceptable limits. When the water pressure in the conduits is reduced the quantity of auxiliary water available 

is insufficient to supply auxiliary water to the fishway at the wye. In 

order to maintain suitable fish passage conditions below the wye with 

diminished flows, the weirs in the" An and liB" branches were contracted 

9 

by raising the middle portion of the crests above the water level and 


leaving an 8-foot overflow section at each end of each weir. The weir 


modifications were made during January and February 1961 after having 


observed flow patterns in 6 weirs which had been modified during April 


1960. 


26. A study of fish passage in the altered fishway was made in the 

latter part of August and first part of September. The study involved 

the counting of salmonids in the altered and unaltered portions of the 

Bradford ISland fishway. A total of 17 extra fish counters were hired 

for a 3-week period to record the movements of fish at 6 temporary counting stations constructed for the special study. One of the counting 

stations is shown in photo ~-B. The data obtained was analysed statistically by University of Washingtor School of Fisheries scientists who 

. deteTImined 	that the alterations caused no discernible delay in fish migration through the fishway. 

27. In addition to the counting program numerous underwater observations were made of fish movements in the altered and unaltered sections 

of the fishway by means of a subsurface observation chamber. The movements of the fish observed in the fishway appeared to be natural, calm 

and unhurried. 

Bradford Island Fishway Inspection and Overhaul 

28. All remaining vertical timber post clusters in the "A" and "B" 


branch ladders were supplanted with monolithic concrete baffles. The 


only timber post energy dissipatorErremaining in the Oregon fishways are 


to be found in the powerhouse and in the little-used diffusion chambers 


31, 32 and 33 of the Bradford Island collection bay. The Washington 

10 

ladder post diffusors are scheduled to be replaced in 1962. 

.. 


29. All worn diffusion gratings were removed from the "A" and "B" 

branch ladders during the Januar,y-Februar,y and November-December overhaul 

periods and replaced with new gratings• 

30. It was necessary to replace the worn slide gate at diffusion 

chamber no. 24 of the "B" branch. It has long been noted that some of 

these valves vibrate and suffer wear in their slots. Consequently, they 

are now operated either in the wide open position, or kept closed. Reverse wedges at the diffusion opening have been proposed to alleviate such 

valve problems. 

31. An enlarged drain hole was drilled through the 8-foot wall 

between the "B" branch diffusion chamber and the abandoned fish lock at 

the south end of the spillway. This vent port eliminates one pumping, 

stage to exhaust the water from the collection bay. The opening and 

grating are shown in photo nO.3-B. 

32. Installation was completed of angle iron closures on the back 

sides of the Bradford Island mechanical screens, as described in earlier 

annual reports. 

33. New steel and concrete weir stoplogs were placed in the end 

sections of weir 68 on the Bradford Island ladder. This reduces time 

required for removal of the weir when need arises. 

34. When the Bradford Island ladder was drained 24 Januar,y, ver,y 

few steelhead were found therein. At this time the entire ladder system 

extending from the north stoplog slots of the powerhouse collection 

system to the forebay was inspected. 

11 
35. A new fish counterts house was constructed and installed at the 

Bradford Island counting station. 

36. A surfaced work area was constructed adjacent to the south side 

of 	the Bradford Island branch "B" fish~ to enable portable lifting 

• apparatus to better accomplish work in the fish~. 

WaShington Shore Fishw~ InsEection and Overhaul 

J7 • An inspection of the Washington ladder following its unwatering 

9 January disclosed very little silt and debris. Shortly thereafter, 

the Washington mechanical screen. pit was drained for inspection of the 

screens. Damaged panels of screen and worn jackshafts at the bottom of 

the screens were replaced. 

38. A wasp carried mud through a 3/8-inch vent pipe and built its 

earthen nidus inside the weatherproof motor which raises and lowers the 

Washington ladder regulating Weir. This caused a short circuit and completely ruined the motor. 

Fishlock 	Operation as BY-Easses 

- 39. Three fish locks were operated as fingerling by-passes during 

the spring of 1961. Adoption of this system and au.xiliaI7 valves closure 

during critical fingerling migration periods has reduced fingerling mortality on the screens appreciably. 

Au.xilia;r Water Screens 

40. The 1961 freshet carried more trash or floating debris than a.ny 

year since 1951. As a result, it was necessary to operate the mechanical 

screens every other hour, 24 hours per day. The stationary screens were 

washed twice daily and auxiliary water valves were partially closed to 

protect the various filter screens. Night-time washing of the mechanical 

screens ceased 29 June. 

12 
Spillway Bay 18 Barrier 

41. The bay 18 screened barrier sections were removed in August for 

renewal of the screens which prevent adult fish from swimming into the 

bay area. 

Powerhouse Collection System Repairs 

42. All weakened timbers opposite powerhouse units 1 to 6 in the 

wall separating the fish collection channel and the draft tube stop1og 

slots were removed. All exposed steel was sandblasted and painted and 

new 4-inch by 12-inch timbers were installed. 

Proposed Experimental Orifice for Powerhouse Collection System 

43. Functional plans were completed for construction of a set of 

experimental revolving submerged fish entrance orifices which will provide for change of orifice operation from horizontal to vertical or vice 

versa with ease and safety. A preliminary orifice study in 1960 indicated 

that fish appear to find and enter the vertical orifice port more readily 

than the horizontal port; however, more testing is required before firm 

conclusions can be reached. 

Activities of Fisheries Agencies 

44. In early March the Oregon Fish Commission barged several 

thousand Cascade Hatchery silver salmon fingerling to the lower end of 

the navigation lock approach canal where the fish were released. 

45. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service trapped about 1,000 spring 

chinook in the Washington shore trap and transported them to the Tyee 

Hatchery. 

46. Oregon Fish Commission personnel, together with the regular 

fish counters again recorded the passage of tagged fish over the Bonneville 

and The Dalles counting boards. 

13 
Fishwgy Operation and Maintenance Costs 

-47. The total 1961 fish~ operation and maintenance cost, including 

routine and special fish counting but excluding research and other experimental investigations, was distributed as follows:

Visitors 

49. The Bonneville Project was visited by the following: - a. On 

25 March a group of thirty-two V. S. Fish and Wildlife Service offiCials, 

mostly from the Washington, D. C. office, visited Bonneville. 

b. Mr. Pierre Danel, president of the large Sogreah Engineering 

Company of France and his New York representative, Mr. Edward E. Chapos, 

inspected the fish facilities on 12 April. Mr. Dane11 s company is designing sturgeon-passing facilities on the Sefid Roud River, Iran. He and 

Mr. Chapos are interested in deSign of fish-passing facilities, and were 

making a tour of the Northwest to examine such structures. 

c. Vichien Virapanish, young Electrical Energy Administrator from 

Thailand, spent 7 August studying and examining the fishways, acquiring 

knowledge that some day may be useful in "Siam". 

d. Dr. N. Bayard Green, herpetologist and naturalist, accompanied 

14 
a Marshall University, West Virginia, touring group on 2 August. 

e. Representatives of interested fisher,y agencies came to observe 

conduct of the study of the altered Bradford Island fishw~ weirs during 

the time that the special counting experiment was in progress. 

f. A photographer from Life Magazine visited the project 15 September to photograph fish facilities and activities for possible use in a 

special stor,y of the Northwest. 

~. A total of 604,800 visitors came to Bonneville Project in 1961.

THE DALLES DAM 

Summary 

50. The total number of fish of all species counted at The Dalles 

Dam during 1961 was 1,180,252 of which 354,739 were ~almonids and 825,513 

were miscellaneous species. The salmonid count comprised 201,335 chinook, 

16,689 blueback, 2,139 silver, 4 humpback and 134,572 steelhead trout. 

51. Fish facility locations at The Dalles Dam are shown on general 

site map DDG-l-0-0/5 and photo I-D. 

52. The monthly totais of all species of fish recorded at The Dalles 

Dam during 1961 are shown in table 41. Daily fish count records by months 

are shown in tables 42 to 55, inclusive. Peak days of fish migration 

counts for salmonids and shad from 1957 through 1961 are shown in table 56. 

53. Night count percentages, as determined from the night counts 

made in 1959 are as follows: chinook adults 9%, chinook jacks 8%, blueback 15%, steelhead 6%, lamprey 56%, shad and all other scrapfish 29%. 

No night count percentages have been determined for silver, chum and humpback. 

54. The 1961 maximum number of salmonids counted in one day (10,051) 

was on 8 September. The 1961 maximum one-day count of all fish (24,052) 

and also of the miscellaneous species (22,507) including 9,326 "lamprey 

occurred on 13 July. The lamprey count reached the season one-day peak 

of 18,110 on 5 August.

Chum Salmon 

62. No chum salmon were recorded at The Dalles Dam in 1961. This 

is not surprising because counting ceased at the end of October and most 

of the chums migrate during the month of November. 

Humpback Salmon 

63. Four humpback salmon were counted at The Dalles Dam in 1961. 

19 
Steelilead Trout 

64. A total of 1}4,572 steelilead trout were tabulated during 1961. 

This is somewhat above the 5-year average of 130,526. The peak day of 

migration came on 8 September when 6,030 of these fish passed upstream.

66. A total of 113,229 shad were counted at The Dalles Dam. This 

number represents 42.62% of the 265,697 counted at Bonneville. Only 

1,612 shad :passed over the McNary Dam flash boards. Shown below are

The ex:planation for the above :phenomena is believed to lie in the combination of different :powerhouse and spillway discharges. Although more 

power units were operated in 1961, the spillway discharge at the beginning of the shad migration was greater than in 1960. See :plate 27. However, no analysis of the situation has been made. 

68. Shad were observed throughout November at the following three 

general locations: The pool at the 1800 turn of the east fish ladder, 

in the foreba;y area adjacent to the middle of the powerhouse" and above 

the upstream navigation lock gate. It is believed that the shad spawned 

in the east ladder. 

69. Eleven ling were observed at The Dalles Dam in 1961. 

21 
Lamprey 

70. A great number of lamprey were found in the north ladder when it 

was drained and inspected on 11 Januar,y. During Januar,y and Februar,y 

many young lamprey were observed in the cooling water strainers, but no 

adults were counted through the counting stations until May even though 

numbers of them had been seen in the ladders in the earlier months. 

Comparative lamprey counts are shown below: 

Year Bonneville The Dalles MCNaex Rock Island

1954 40,986 93 no record 

1955 42,603 556 

1956 49,911 970 

1957 53,031 63,100 2,748 

1958 98,419 144,253 10,565 

1959 215,083 296,683 19,807 

1960 177,898 359,208 l3,~60 

1961 364,805 352,444 26,119 

71. Obviously, there is a discrepancy between the Bonneville and 

The Dalles lamprey counts during the 1957-1960 period. Part of this 

discrepancy may be due to lamprey migrating upstr~am through the barrier 

pickets at the Bonneville fish counting stations and through the navigation lock without being observed. 

Sturgeon 

72. No sturgeon were counted over the flashboards in 1961. Howev~r, 

there were many instances of them having been seen in The Dalles area. 

Indians were observed fishing with set lines in the powerhouse channel 

at the south end of the spillway. It has been reported that many large 

sturgeon have been caugh~, and it is feared that the population of this 

species has been greatly reduced. One fish over six feet long was taken 

from the deep water adjacent to the south end of the spillway dam. 

22 
On various occasions sturgeon were seen swimming counter-clockwise in 

the powerhouse skeleton unit pools, and in the east ladder junction pool. 

The eyes of the sturgeon reflected a yellow light at night. Several of 

these fish were found when the navigation lock was drained for inspection 

and overhaul in October. 

~ 

73. 	 22,399 carp were counted at The Dalles Dam in 1961. 


Fish Counting Schedule for The Dalles Dam - 1961 


74. The 1961 fish counting schedule for The Dalles Dam was as 

shown below. 

1 Janua:rx - 3 April. No counting was performed. 

4 April - 28 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. The counting 

station gates were left open at all times, and another factor was applied 

to compensate for fish passage during the night. 

29 October - 31 December. No counting was performed. Gates remained 

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

Fish Facilities Inspection, Alterations and Observations 

75. On 11 Januar,y 1961 the north ladder was drained and inspected. 

It was found to be in excellent condition and relatively clear of deposits 

except for a few limbs across the weir orifices. One steelhead and numerous lamprey were found in the ladder. It was rewatered 13 Januar,y. 

Quarter-inch skin plates, which prevent entr,y of waves and debris into the 

fish exit of the north ladder, were welded to the trash rack at an elevation which placed the bottom of the plates several feet below normal 

23 

pool level. Air conditioning devices were installed in the north fishladder counting house, and in the fishway office under the east fishladder. 

76. The east fishway system was operated efficient~ and without 

encountering any significant operation problems. The fishway entrances 

located at the north and the south end of the spillway were each operated 

with the side fish port facing the spillway closed. See photo 2-D. The 

side ports were closed in order to concentrate the available fishway water 

and thus create single and more far reaching and effective fish attraction 

flows. 

77. A salmon weighing an estimated 40 p~unds leaped into one of the 

new, and strongly constructed, hydroscopes over one of the counting 

boards. The fish was soon released. The older and lighter hydroscopes 

(formerly used) would not have withstood the weight of this fish without 

suffering damage. 

Fishlock Operation 

78. The fishlock was operated 21 March for thirty-two visiting 

U. S. Fish &Wildlife Service officials. The group observed several 

steelhead 	in the lock during the demonstration. 

Special Fisheries Investigations 

79. The Washington State Department of Fisheries constructed and 

operated two Alaska-type floating fish traps to study methods of controlling scrap fish populations above and below the, dam. One of-the traps 

was operated in the slack water in the cul-de-sac area located northeast 

of the east fish ladder. See photo 3-D. The other was operated in the 

forebay. 

24 
Miscellaneous Observations 

80. At various times gulls were seen feeding in the vicinity of the 

spillway, chief~ below spillway gates 1 and 2, and also near Big Lone 

Pine Island below the spillway dam. They fed on fish approximate~ 3 to 

4 inches long during periods when numerous young shad and ~riads of 

minnow fingerlings were known to be present in the river• • 

81. Indian dipnetting operations were conducted at times when salmon 

were abundant in the river. 

82. One of The Dalles Dam fish counters appeared on the T. V. program "What' s ~ Line". This is the third Columbia River fish counter to 

appear on this show. 

FishW3Y Qperation and Maintenance Costs 

83. The annual cost for 1961 of fishway operation, maintenance and 

fish counting was as follows: 

Routine operation $55,149.22 

Maintenance 25,270.74 

Fish Counting 16,024.73 

Total $96,444.69 

Weather and River Flow Data 

84. Rain on 23 Januar,y and succeeding d~s produced a great amount 

of silt from 15 Mile Creek which empties into the powerhouse tailrace 

from the Oregon shore. 

85. Dai~ records of water and air temperatures are shown in salmonid fish count tables beginning with table 42. Dai~ turbidity readings 

river flow and water temperatures are plotted on plate 27. 

Visitors 

86. A total of 189,800 visitors were recorded at The Dalles Dam 

during 	the year of 1961.

McNARY DAM 

Summary 

1. The total passage of all species of fish at McNary Dam during 

1961 was 630,498, the lowest tabulation since counting began in 1954 and 

30 percent below the 8-year average of 904,478 fish. 

- 2. A total of 277,172 salmon and steelhead trout were tallied, 

being comprised of 154,996 chinook, 16,388 blueback and 2,045 silver 

salmon and 103,743 steelhead trout. The 1961 totals ranked lowest for 

blueback, fifth for chinook, third for steelhead and second for silvers 

for the 8-year period of count. The total salmonid count ranked second 

lowest and was 21 percent below the 8-year average of 352,441. 

3. The miscellaneous -fish total of 353,326 comprised of 13 species 

was the second lowest annual total recorded and was 36 percent below the 

1954-1961 average of 552,037. 

4. The annual totals of all fish passing McNary Dam dur.ing the 

period 1954-1961 are shown in table 68. Monthly totals for 1961 appear 

in table 69. Daily totals by species are compiled by months in tables 73 

through 86. Peak days of fish migration, by species for the 8-year period are presented in table 89. 

5. In 1961 the maximum number of salmonids counted in one day 

(5,840) was tallied on 17 September, and the maximum number of miscellaneous fish (6,391) was recorded on 14 October. The maximum daily count 

of all species was 10,200 recorded on 17 September. 

6. Monthly counts of salmon and steelhead trout for the years 1954­

1961 are shown in tables 90 through 93, and yearly totals of miscellaneous 

26 
species counted over the same period are presented in table 94. The number and percent of salmonids counted oVer each fish ladder are shown in 

tables 95 through 99, and the yearly percentages of all salmonids counted 

over each fish ladder for the years 1954-1961 appear in table 100. 

7. Both the Oregon and Washington shore fish ladders were in full 

operation throughout the year. 

8. Various experimental and research studies were conducted during 

the year by representatives of fisher,y agencies engaged in contracts under 

the Corps of Engineers Fisheries Research Program. 

9. Daily counts of the four principal salmonid species are plotted 

for comparison with those of Bonneville and The Dalles Dams on plate 1 

through 4. Plates 9 through 12 show the migration periods of salmonid 

runs at MCNar,y Dam for the years 1954-1961. Daily river discharges, 

water temperatures and turbidity readings are depicted on plate 28.

Damare shown in relation to other features on General Site Plan MD-05-31/2. 

Srri~ Chinook Salmon 

1 April - 15 June) 

11. The spring chinook total count of 70,334 was the second highest 

on record at MCNar,y Dam and 26 percent above the 8-year average of 55,934. 

The peak. of the spring run occurred on 2 May when 5,775 were recorded. 

The spring run comprised 45 percent of the total chinook count. See 

tables 68, 69, 89, 90, 95 and plates 1 and 9. 

Summer 	Run Chinook Salmon 

(16 June - 31 August) 

12. The total summer run chinook count of 49,170 was the lowest for 

the period of count at MCNar,y Dam and was 38 percent below the 8-year 
average of 79,701. The maximum daily count was 2, 281 on 29 June. The 

summer run chinook contributed 32 percent of the total chinook run. See 

tables 68, 69, 89, 90, 95 and plates 1 and 9. 

Fall Chinook Salmon 

(1 September - 31 October) .. 13. The fall chinook count for 1961 was an II averagelJ run. A total 

of 35,492 fall chinook were counted to compare closely with the 1954-1961 • 

average of 35,846. The largest daily count of 1,978 fall chinook occurred 

on 17 September. It is of interest that the peak daily count for fall 

chinook has fallen within a range of seven d~s over the 8-year counting 

period. See table 89. The fall chinook run comprised 23 percent of the 

- total chinook count. Other pertinent data are in tables 68, 69, 89, 90, 

95 and plates 1 and 9. 

Chinook Jacks or Grilse 

14., Chinook jacks, which are small male chinook salmon, constituted 

14.6 percent of the total chinook count. Jacks are tallied separately 

but are included in all of the chinook counts. A standard 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 percent of chinook jacks counted 

over each fish ladder are shown in table 96. 

Blueback Salmon 

15. An extremely low count of 16,388 blueback occurred in 1961, 

being only 18 percent of the 8-year average of 90,960, and 9 percent of 

the peak year count of 173,758 in 1955. The number and percent of' blueback salmon counted over each fish ladder are presented in table 97. See 

also tables 68, 69, 89, 91 and 97 and plAtes 2 and 10. 

28 
Silver Salmon 

16. The total silver salmon count was 2,045 and was 35 percent 

higher than the 1954-1961 average of 1509. The maximum daily count of 

147 occurred on 11 September. See tables 68, 69, 89, 92, 98 and plates 

3 and 11. 

Chum Salmon 

• 

17. 	 No chum salmon were counted in 1961. 

Steelhead Trout 

18. A total of 103,743 steelhead trout were counted in 1961. This 

was the third highest annual count at McNar,y dam and was 17 percent 

higher than the 8-year average of 88,490. See tables 68, 69, 89, 93 and 

99 and plates 4 and 12. 

Maximum 	Abundance and Yearly Percentage of 

Salmonids Counted Over Each Fish Ladder 

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

occurred on 17 September with a total of 5,840. This number was composed 

of 1,978 chinook, 128 silvers and 3,734 steelhead. Of this number, 66.7 

percent passed through the Oregon counting station. 

20. The yearly percentage use of fish ladders by all salmonid 

species 	for the years 1954-1961 is shown on table 100. 

Miscellaneous Species 

21. Shad. More shad passed through the McNar,y Dam fishways in 1961 

than in any previous year. The total count of 1,612 is almost 4 times 

the 8-year average of 433. See tables 69 and 94. 

22. Other Miscellaneous Species. The miscellaneous fish count for 

1961 totalled 353,326. This was the second lowest year in the 8-year 

counting period and 36 percent below the 8-year average of 552,037. The 

29 
miscellaneous fish count was 56 percent of the total fish count. Again, 

as i~ all but two years, the miscellaneous fish count exceeded the salmonid 

count. Suckers were the most numerous, comprising 62 percent of the miscellaneous fish count. For additional data, see tables 68, 69 and 94. 

Activities and Observations 

23. Fish Locks. Neither the Washington fish lock nor the pressure 

fish lock were operated during 1961. 

~ 24. ~ish Counting Schedule. Fish counting was performed at the 

McNar,y' Dam as shown below: 

1 Janua;y - 31 March. No counting performed. Ladders open to 

free fish passage at all times. 

1 April - 31 JulY. 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 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. with counting stations closed to fish passage at 

night and during counter rest periods. 

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

to free fish passage at all times. 

25. Fish Facilities Repairs and Overhauls. No major repairs or 

overhauls 	were performed on the fish facilities during 1961. 

Special Fishe;y Investigations 

26. Light Attraction of Downstream Migrant Salmonids. This study 

which was begun in 1958 at McNar,y Dam by the School of Fisheries, University of Washington, under contract with the Corps of Engineers Fisher,y 

30 

Research Program, continued during 1961. In addition to the study of 

attraction of downstream migrant salmonids, studies were also conducted 

. on different methods of lighting fish counting boards. 

27. Depth Distribution of Downstream Migrant Salmonids. Studies • 

were conducted by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the depth dis­

.. tribution of downstream migrant salmonids as they approach and enter the 

turbine intakes at McNary Dam. 

28. Supplementaq Spawning Channel. The spawning channel, which 

was constructed by the Corps of Engineers in 1957 and is operated by the 

Washington Department of Fisheries, under contract with the Corps, continued operation during the year. Maintenance and revisions to the channel were made by Corps of Engineers personnel. The major revision was 

construction of a large holding pond at the lower end of the control section where salmon fry can be held safely while they attain growth which is 

expected to increase their rate of survival after being released into the 

river. See photos l-M, 2-M and 3-M. The pond is free of predators and 

no artificial feeding is required as the pond produces ~ple natural food. 

A continuous flow of from 3 to 5 cfs is passed through the pond. ,In 

early June young fish that have not been released into the river are 

seined out of the pond and"spawning channel prior to draining the channel 

for annual maintenance work. 

Fishway Operation and Maintenance Costs 

29. The total cost of fishway operation and maintenance in 1961 was 

$146,902.84. 
30. In addition to the above costs, a total of 28,006,000 kilowatt 

hours of ele~tricity was used by fishway pumps in supplYing attraction 

water to the south shore facilities. 

Weather and River Flow Data 

31. The dailY records of barometer readings, precipitation data, 

river discharges and turbidity readings 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. 

Visitors 

32. Biologists of several State and Federal fisher,y organization~ 

vi~ited the dam at frequent intervals to inspect the fishway operation. 

33. A total of 50,205 visitors were recorded at McNar,y Dam during 

the year of 1961.
