Fish wheel -- Columbia River
- Title
- Fish wheel -- Columbia River
- LC Subject
- Salmon
- Description
- This device was more popular in former years than it is now, but they may still be seen along the Columbia river. At the present time the wheels are very strictly controlled by state law. The flow of the water turns the wheel, while wooden scoops attached to it lift the fish from the water as they swim within reach. At the present time fish wheels are forbidden by law in nearly all bays and streams of the state except the Columbia River, and here they are very strictly regulated, being set forth in the statute books.
