Ever wondered how fish get past the dam? Here's a live look at the Rocky Reach fish ladder from the Rocky Reach Discovery Center.
What is a fish ladder? Fish ladders assist mature salmon and steelhead on their upriver journey to spawning grounds in the Columbia River and its tributaries. Studies of upriver migration confirm that adult salmon pass our dams safely with no delay on the return to their spawning grounds!

Note: fish are seasonal visitors. The best months to see Chinook salmon are May and August. Sockeye salmon are most visible during July, and it's September for steelhead.
