A small number of steelhead salmon were also caught in the fishwheel.
Looking across the fence panels as a GFA technician cleans debris - typically leaves, sticks and spawned out salmon - to prevent damming of the fence panels.
GFA technical crews are the backbone of the program, working long, split shifts each day to maintain the fence and process each fish that passes through, sometimes over 200,000 fish per season.
