Abstract: We used radiotelemetry techniques to assess the fallback behavior of adult spring, summer, and fall Chinook salmon and steelhead via juvenile bypass systems (JBS) at Bonneville, John Day, McNary, and Ice Harbor dams in 2000 and 2001. Of the 868 fallback events recorded at the four dams during the two study years, 77 (8.9%) were via a JBS; 22 by spring-summer Chinook salmon, four by fall Chinook salmon, and 51 by steelhead. Sixty-one percent of all JBS fallback events occurred in 2001. Fifty-six percent of them occurred at McNary Dam. The median JBS residency time was 10.4 h based on minimum estimates and 60.2 h based on maximum estimates.
