"The construction of Illinois Falls fish ladder on the Illinois River in Oregon was completed in November 1961. The ladder was opened and operated during the winter of 1961-62. Final cleanup and rock removal was completed in the fall of 1962. The ladder was installed on a natural barrier where fish passage was delayed by low and moderately high river levels. The facility installed was a concrete vertical baffle-type fishway patterned after the Hells Gate fishway in use on the Fraser River in Canada. Since the ladder has been installed, salmon and steelhead have arrived at upper river areas much earlier than previously recorded. Concentrations of fish have not been observed below the falls."

Live -boxed brook trout were used to determine toxicity duration. Twenty-five trout live-boxed in five sets on October 14 were all alive when the live boxes were removed October 25.

Fintrol-5 was experimentally tested in six isolated gold dredge ponds in Sumpter Valley. The tests revealed all coarse fish in treated ponds were killed in a period varying between 7 hours and 144 hours; toxic water subbing from treated ponds would kill fish in downstream ponds if water table dillution was not too great; and, the period of toxicity varied from 2 days to 12 days in treated ponds, dependent upon rate of water exchange. One pond without water exchange was treated at a concentration of .075 ppb. All but 30 fish were killed. Title: Habitat Improvement Project, No. 26 Author: Oregon. State Game Commission.

Fish passing Winchester Dam view-window counting station on the North Umpqua River were enumerated. Figure 1 is a map of the Umpqua basin and denotes the counting station. The counts for summer steelhead, fall chinook, and sea-run cutthroat increased while those for winter steelhead, spring chinook, and coho decreased. By far the greater number of fish again passed through the station from Noon to 8 p.m. The contribution of the hatchery and rearing pond programs to the anadromous fishery was demonstrated by the numbers of marked fish returning (1008 and 6700 percent of each run). Substantially higher returns from March releases over fish stocked in either April or May is indicated. (From the abstract) Title: Habitat Improvement Project, No. 24 Author: Oregon.
