I have fished every dam on the river I live on (in IL) for about a 60 mile stretch. There is 1 fish ladder I can think of. Every dam removal project gets fought tooth and nail by locals who like how they look, or fishermen who like how fish bunch up under them.
- kajecounterhack 5y agoFish ladders are also imperfect. Anglers know this, as we fish the deep pools created at the bottoms of dams -- many fish will stage/rest there, and some will simply get stuck there. They also don't solve the problem where dams slow and warm the waters running through them. Trout and Salmon need cold water to survive.
