Jumping Salmon

This salmon is jumping up into the fishway at Corbett's Dam in Port Hop, it is a 90-foot long concrete channel. Migrating fish jump up a series of nine pools each a foot higher than the previous one. Fishways are also called fish ladders. The fishway is designed to allow only the species that are wanted upstream to pass through its pools.
