Siletz Trap

Roger Wilson and Wayde Dudley checked 3 traps today. The weather was cool with showers. We were back in town by 1440. In the order visited:
Bohanan - No fish. Large blue heron sitting near the falls.
Siletz - 2 male Steelhead, 1 wild. Roger had a gas powered portable 2 inch pump and some fire hose. We transported the gear to the trap using the tram bucket. Hooked up the pump and Roger washed the accumulated silt, sand & gravel out of the trap. Much better than shoveling. River was up and the boulder area was solid white water. Some snow in the area.
Palmer Creek - No fish. Cleaned the gates and also the weir on the main channel.
