SILETZ FISH TRAP:

Kevin, my son Mike and I worked the trap today. It was a beautiful day up the gorge where 2 deer were spotted as we were leaving the great city of Siletz. We found a total of 26 fish in the trap consisting of 18 male and 6 female steelhead. In addition there were 2 jack coho that were released upstream. All of the steelhead were brought to Food Share in Newport. Today was Kevin's last day.
We understand that following the heavy rains there were in excess of 200 steelhead in the trap last week with approximately 140 brought down for distribution to the tribe in Siletz.
