The Daguerre Point Dam blocked the salmon from 15 miles of spawning beds on the Yuba River until 



twin fish ladders were built with Wildlife Conservation Board funds. With ladders at both ends, the 



fish have no difficulty negotiating this barrier at any water stage. Sometimes a straight line fishway is 



effective, as at left; in other cases, the fish must follow a winding course. 



The crews working out of the shop at Elk Grove have repaired several 

 old or inefficient fish ladders. This work has been materially speeded up 

 by the recent acquisition of trailer-mounted cement mixer, electric 

 welder, and air compressor. These light but mobile units greatly facilitate 

 the work on out-of-the-way jobs.
