SILETZ FISH TRAP:

Frank and I did the Siletz Trap visit with Kevin and had a really fine day in the outdoors. Saw four deer on the way up, and received a bit of a shock when we got to the gravel road entrance at Moonshine - ALL the trees on both side were gone. Hardly recognized the entrance - it looked better with trees. None of us expected very many fish, since there was only one on Wednesday, but we found the one left there earlier plus 16 more. One wild buck and one hen were released up stream, 9 were moved to Newport Food Share, and the rest were left in the pens. Looked like 2 of the 9 were about the very last of the Winters, but the others were very bright Summers. On the way down the Gorge, we jumped 4 more deer (does) on the road, dodged the log trucks, and finished early. All went well in spite of Friday the 13th.
