Wayde, John Spangler and Kevin Bastien left the cold, windy, foggy South Newport and headed for the Siletz River. The further east we got the brighter it became. About 4 miles into the gorge it was nice and sunny, 70 degrees and very little wind. Most pleasant.
The trap contained 69 fish plus 7 that were left in the pens for brood stock. These will be taken to Hebo next week. The count was:
Hatchery
29 males 10 females
Native
6 males 11 female
Previously tagged return fish
7 males 5 females
and 1 immature male coho. Not sure where he came from.
Trip wildlife consisted of a doe deer and 2 fawns, 1 cottontail rabbit, 1 red-tailed hawk, a buzzard and a falcon sized bird of unknown species.
There was no active logging today due to the high fire danger conditions in the forest. We took 39 fish to Newport Foodshare and were back at the ODF&W office by 1:05 pm.
