Yes, some fish ladders do work, and without them there would be no fish.
But some of the early designs just did not work.
Gold Ray Dam was built in 1904 (or there about)

As another example, the Clackamas River has several dams with ladders, but there is no native fish-run above the 3rd dam because that ladder failed.
