Where is the evidence that it occurred last year?

1913 and 1914 railway blasting blcoked the river and it wasn't really fixed until the building of the fishways began in 1944.
Meanwhile the Adams River run was nearly wiped out and the cycle of dominant and sub-dominant sockeye runs in the river was swapped around from historical returns.
Improvised flumes and transfer of salmon in 1914 got 16,500 sockeye and 850 springs up river past the slide area.

In response to a significant landslide discovered between June 21 and 23, 2019 in a narrow portion of the Fraser River near Big Bar, just north of Lillooet, B.C., a unified command incident management team (PDF) has been established.
Officials learned of the Big Bar Landslide in late June. After examining satellite imagery, data indicates the slide may have occurred in late October or early November.

Thanks Hub, that's the incident I was referring to.
That's why "history" is important folks.
It can tell you what others did and what will work.
And a lot of those folks didn't have university engineering degrees etc.
(Actually, it was probably the Engineers that screwed it all up back then anyways!)
Get the fish over the blockage with assistance and then fix it after the run.
That or put some sort of net up down river to keep salmon from going up (without harming them) and then go ahead and blow it up and open.
Remove net, let salmon go.
Yeah,what they need to do RIGHT NOW,not ‘next month’ or after they ‘study it’is to physically get those salmon over the blockage and then clear the channel when the river drops and the fish have all gone though.
That’s not the government way,first they have to document it,then do an environmental study ,then they have to do an geological study on the condition of the rock banks and then they have to study the potential environmental impact of blasting the rock on potential endangered species of bullheads in the river,stonefly larvae and crayfish and then put it out to tender and finally they might do it,over budget and late ...maybe by next spring.Meanwhile we lose a salmon run....that’s the way government operates..
