The new ladder at the south end of the Daguerre Point dam The combined cost of the two Daguerre Point fishways was $65,000. It is expected that the increased area now made available to spawning will add to the runs of salmon and steelhead ascending the Yuba River in the future. The largest of the three new fishways is on the Sutter Butte dam in the Feather River. It is located about 10 miles downstream from Oroville and about five miles northeast of Gridley. There has been a fishway on this dam but it has proved definitely unsatisfactory. Several reasons contribute to its lack of effectiveness. As this old fish ladder is not ac- cessible from either bank of the river except at very low water, no adjust- ment of the flow through it can be made. Also, the dam is several hundred feet long which makes it difficult for fish to find the entrance. This factor is aggravated by the position of the entrance about 20 feet downstream from the face of the dam. During some years when a heavy flow in the river occurs, at the time of the upstream migration of salmon, the fish pass over the dam without much trouble. However, this is the exception and cannot be depended Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original California.
