SILETZ FISH TRAP:

Wayde, John & Josh accompanied Kevin to the Siletz trap today, 5/30. Nice day but overcast and we were hoping for sunshine to finish off the filming for our video. Josh and I in my truck followed Kevin and John in the ODF&W truck. Josh took some footage of the fish truck in various places. There were 15 steelhead in the trap.
Wild:
1 summer buck and 3 summer hens that were passed upstream.
Hatchery:
3 summer buck and 7 summer hens
There was 1 wild winter buck put back down the ladder.
It was a nice day at the trap. The water level was down about a foot from last Friday. Still about 18 inches to go to the lowest I saw last summer. We put 6 concrete blocks in the trap to set the transport box on. This will insure that the box stays in the new guides that were added during the recent repairs. Some logging on the main road caused a minor hold up.
