SILETZ FISH TRAP:

Bill and I were joined by Alice for the trap run today. Alice is a biology graduate from Juno and currently works as a waitress at the Coffee House. The Bohannan Trap was empty and the Siletz trap contained only one hatchery male and 1 wild female. The hen was "punched" and returned downstream. The male was also returned downstream but he wasn't moving much after being conked. The beaver has sure been busy at Palmer Creek and there were no fish in the trap. We spent quite a bit of time at the trap and gave it a thorough cleaning before arriving back in Newport around 2:20.
The elk herd was spotted at the 7 mile post just before entering Logsdon. Too far away to see any antlers. A large flock of Canada Geese were in the pasture nearby. All in all a very nice day. Only one logging truck was seen on the road today.
