    The fish ladder at Warm Springs NFH is scheduled to be "closed" on
    November
    15th 2011 for maintenance and winterization.  Bar gates will be removed so
    that adult fish can pass upstream of the barrier dam without passing
    through the fish ladder.  During this time, adult fish will NOT be passing
    through the WSH PIT antenna array.  Interrogation files will continue to
    be
    automatically uploaded to PTAGIS but there will be NO detection
    capability.

    It is anticipated that the ladder will be reopened, and PIT detection
    capabilities will resume sometime in Janurary of 2012.  Historically, very
    few adult fish (primarily steelhead) are know to pass upstream of the
    barrier dam duriing December and January.

    The Warm Springs NFH adult ladder was watered up for the year on February
    15, 2011.  All adult-sized upstream migrating fish must pass through the
    ladder and PIT antenna array.  Juvenile fish and some mini-jacks may be
    able to pass upstream through a separator gate without passing the WSH PIT
    antenna.

    On February 4, 2011 hatchery staff  were doing routine cleaning of the
    fish
    ladder.  Two PIT tags (codes 3D9.1C2C4FDA16 and 3D9.1C2C4FF1E2) that were
    apparently embedded in debris at the bottom of the ladder  were washed
    downstream through the WSH PIT array, detected by the antennas, and
    uploaded as part of the WSH11035.C interrogation file.  These detections
    ARE NOT valid fish detections.  The tags in question were in adults that
    migrated upstream over Bonneville Dam and into the hatchery holding ponds
    in 2010.  The tags likely fell out of adult salmon at some point during
    broodpond holding or spawning at the hatchery.  We are working with PTAGIS
    to determine whether these detections should be removed from the database.
