A fishladder (10) for use along a waterway includes a channel having a bottom wall (16), a pair of opposing, up-wardly extending sidewalls (18a, b) and opposing open ends. A series of projections (20) are disposed along the channel between the opposing walls (18a, b), and a series of baffles (22) are also disposed along the channel adjacent the series of projections. The baffles (22) define a sheltered side (28), having sheltered areas with a low water flow rate in which fish can rest, and a flow side capable of carrying water having a higher water flow rate and along which fish can advance up the fish ladder. A passage (30) extends through the battles, which allows water to flow through the sheltered areas at a rate capable of preventing the build-up of sediment in teh same sheltered areas, but which does not significantly impede the ability of fish to rest in these areas.
