Description:
No. 6 fishwheel. This fishwheel was built after the 1894 flood to take advantage of a similar high water. Not until 1948 did the river rise high enough to operate this wheel, but by that time fishwheels had been prohibited. So No. 6 never caught a salmon.
Date: 1896
Description:
This scow fishweel was torn from it's morrings upstream by the 1894 flood, drifted downstream to become beached at The Dalles, where this photo was taken. It does not look like a typical Suefert Bros. scow.
Date: 1894
