Looking upstream at the inclined plane trap that GFA used prior to construction of the smolt fence. Two nets were used as wings to funnel fish into two traps, catching a small % of the total run.
The fishwheel in the final position. Low flows that year were thought to reduce the effectiveness of the fishwheel - which tend to work better in higher, more turbid water conditions.
