Daily Totals for Last 7 days and Year to Date Totals (based on historical reporting dates)

Link to Current Counts (most counts based on reporting dates since 2000). (USACE began posting BON counts from Jan. 1 beginning in 2003)

¹⁾ Since the year 2006, Priest Rapids Dam jack counts have included mini jacks.

* The Corp of Engineers is currently experiencing computer problems. They are working to fix these problems.

* When the source column on this report reads 'unknown' or 'ftp', it is because the counts have been gathered via the phone or ftp and are considered preliminary data. When the Corp of Engineers finalizes the counts and posts them on their website the source reads USACE.

• ¹⁾ Since the year 2006, Priest Rapids Dam jack counts have included mini jacks.
• ²⁾ Shad are not counted at John Day, Lower Monumental and Little Goose Dams
• ³⁾ Steelhead counts appear higher at Lower Granite Dam because most years a group which migrated into the river system between October and December overwinters below LGR and continues its migration in early March.
• ⁴⁾ As the Army Corp of Engineers no longer collects adult counts from the PUDs, we now get data directly from Chelan, Douglas and Grant Co. PUDs and DART.
• ⁵⁾ Wild steelhead are a subset of steelhead. Wild steelhead are counted separately from hatchery steelhead at Corps dams on the Columbia and Snake Rivers. Wild steelhead are identified as fish with an intact adipose fin. However, a small number of hatchery fish may not have had their adipose fin removed.
• ⁶⁾ Shad are typically not counted at any of the Corps dams after August 31 each year and shad are not counted at all Corps dams. An n/a in the shad columns at Bonneville Dam and Lower Granite Dam after August 31st means that the shad are not being counted.
• This report includes adult counts for only the traditional, direct observation reporting dates. This information is still preliminary. The table below lists the traditional or historical dam reporting dates.
• The reporting dates table shows that several dams stop counting fish around November 15th each year. After a dam stops counting fish for the season, only the total number of fish are shown on this report.
• These data are updated periodically throughout the day. The FPC data retrieving robot searches the web for updated data every 30 minutes in the AM, and every hour in the PM.
• The last column " Source " shows where the data was imported from: NWPCE is imported from the COE's Daily Fish Reports; USACE is from US Army Corps of Engineers fish count pages; CHPUD is from Chelan PUD; GCPUD is from Grant PUD and DGPUD is from Douglas PUD and DART is from the University of Washington's Data Access in Real Time, WFA is imported from ODFW's Willamette Falls website.
• Wild Steelhead counts are included in the Steelhead count.
• Some of the sites are several days behind in reporting, but is reported by the COE as zero, so where zeros appear across all rows, the data should be considered as "not yet reported".
