Bonneville Dam - Columbia River - Fish Ladder

[@seanneveltkamp9256]

My wife's worked here for 43 years.

[@alexandervargas8707]

please pass on my appreciation, visited recently on a road trip and it’s a lovely little island ^^

[@mortonyakimadetectingthepa9015]

My granddad helped build Bonneville dam. He met my grandmother there. She was teaching the native kids. My roots go deep in the gorge.

[@MililaniJag]

Boy those fish were going full steam!! Visited over 50 years ago! Thx!

[@autumnskyes5633]

This was amazing to watch especially all the shore lunch running in the ladder and viewing area. I've never seen anything like this before. Thank you.

[@widebody2010]

There's also a fish hatchery you can tour free. Great place to take the family. CCC built the dam and hwy 30 above it. It's also a very nice drive.

[@gusgus2539]

Thanks Russ.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

We visited here when we visit camped at Cascade Locks Marine Park - super impressive! I could have sat and watched the fish swim up the ladder for hours - not sure why 😂

[@donalddday7741]

[@BulldogBill]

[@johneason6540]

Maybe a week before filmed this I was hiking on the Washington side at beacon point, it overlooked the dam. It was amazing

[@jhonungas]

I will add this place on my list to go to👍🙏

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

When I was growing up, they called it the McNary Dam.

[@GH-oi2jf]

No, McNary dam is upriver at Umatilla.

[@Samuel_the_kitty]

[@debigarland7313]

Nice video! Couldn’t see the fish on the ladder 😞. The dam shots at 11:20ish were amazing!

[@juliebradford2999]

Wow ! Amazing.

[@tazmod7272]

That was me going by you on my motorcycle. Lol. Glock 40. A lot of the stuff was built by the Civilian Conservation Corp. Look up “Herman the Sturgeon” Oregon’s famous sturgeon.

[@stevekoger1106]

Very nice....all that was very alien to this Texas boy.

[@GH-oi2jf]

There are different seasons for different fish. It is all explained inside the visitor center.

[@susanstrickland6774]

being a drone pilot myself, I think that anywhere they ban flying a drone, they should be required to fly their own drone and post quality aerial footage on their web site for those people who want the aerial view.

[@jonmacdonald5345]

Happy birthday America! Be sure to never buy Nikes! Happy 4th Everyone! safe travels out there Russ! Talk Soooooooon!

[@troyfowler5177]

First!

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

Hate to say it but terrible camera work. You didn't stay long enough at each spot for the viewers to get an overall view, which only lasted a few seconds.. The viewing window is cool and we didn't get to see but only 10 seconds of it and the outside fish ladder with steelhead and salmon navigating the riffles as well.. You panned over instead of focusing on one ladder so we could see the fish coming up.. Oh well.

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

I wish they would take down all dams on all the rivers. Put in solar panels and windmills to create power. Give the fish a chance to go all the way up the rivers. In the 1980s we had big king salmon fishery in California. 30lbs and up size salmon were caught in monterey bay. Nowadays 2020 21 inch king are keeper. You rarely see 30lbs salmon in the Monterey bay and outside san Francisco bay. Take the dams down so salmon can survive as they did.
