That's not how that actually works. Damming has huge impacts on downstream, now much drier, ecosystems. Even if there were a way to "open a gate for fish", that wouldn't solve the problem that their habitat is now gone. This is among reasons people have fought for dam removal. This also ignores the flooding of the environment that becomes the reservoir.
