SCHOONER CREEK

Gentlemen and ladies,

We had our first winter Steelhead in the trap today. I released a chrome bright native buck winter Steelhead upstream to the delight of the assembled crowd. I took six people to the trap today, most of whom had never been there before. After the wonderful job everyone did yesterday cleaning and repairing the trap, the fruits of our labor were very apparent to me today. The trap was working perfectly with no silt at all.

NOTE FROM FIRST LADY: Isn't this what it's all about? We cleaned up the trap good enough on Friday to get it working and Mike had the privilege of showing people the wonder of salmon and nature. It doesn't get any better than this . . .
