Prior to bridge demolition, WDFW workers used electrofishing equipment to catch fish under the bridge and safely transport them downstream. Electrofishing affects the movement of the fish so that they can be caught, but results in no permanent harm. Nets have been placed upstream from the bridge to prevent fish getting through and fish are transported in buckets from the upstream side of the bridge to the downstream side, daily.
