Two years after the $20 million removal of the Middle Fork Nooksack dam, salmon have safe passage through the river, but none have been seen — so now local tribes and wildlife officials are ...
The DWR suggested for the fish ladder to be extended to the stilling basin downstream of Nimbus Dam, with the dam becoming the barrier for the salmon.

A new fish passage around the Kletzsch Dam has opened up 54 miles of water for fish to swim upstream. The project is one of many to restore Milwaukee's area of concern.
The work will allow the river to flow freely in its historic channel, giving salmon a passageway to key swaths of habitat just in time for the fall Chinook, or king salmon, spawning season.

Without the fish ladder, it would have ...
