SILETZ TRAP RUN:
Bill is leaving for a 2 week motorcycle adventure on Saturday so after our run I bid him a bon voyage and forgot to write down the results of our day. Therefore the following results are from memory and not necessarily accurate. We made a brief stop at Palmer Creek but it was down to just a trickle and only a few inches of water in the trap. We then proceeded to Siletz Falls where there were approximately 18 fish in the trap. Approximately 8 of those were holdovers from Monday in preparation for a brood stock run to Alsea. We collected 5 pair of wild for the brood stock run and sent another 3 males back downstream. The other 5 were left in the trap for a run to Ollala on Friday. We proceeded to the Alsea Hatchery via Valsetz and after assisting with the spawning process we brought 9 back for release at Ilahee Park in Siletz. Back in town at 3:30. Nice day. Frank
