Other Notes: 

    • Bonneville Dam is most downstream or first dam on the Columbia River; Lower Granite Dam is most upstream or last of the 4 Lower Snake River dams.
    • All numbers are based on daytime visual observations.  In general, counts occur between 0400 – 2000 hours (PST).  Counters observe passage at window for 50 minutes every hour.  Raw number counts are multiplied by 1.2 to approximate the total number of fish passing the count window(s).  Night count data are not included.
