SILETZ FISH TRAP:

This was in from Hank Bryson on Friday.........................................


Today John Spangler, myself and Casey went to Palmer Creek to check the trap and flow of water because of previous Beaver dam problems, no fish in the trap because the Siletz is low enough that the fish are not leaving the big river. Then we went on to the Siletz trap which had four Steelhead, all nice fish, one was a hatchery fish the rest were marked and sent back down the fish ladder. Casey was holding another eight Steelhead, four female and four males to be used for brood stock which he transported to the Alsea Hatchery. We saw two deer on the return trip and kept warm as long as we were in the sun, the frost was everywhere else. Was a nice day and good company made it all worthwhile.
