Trap Report for Friday, 4/23
Bill & Wayde left the Pig House just after 8, gassed up and headed south. We arrived at the Bohanan trap at 9:17. Good flow of very clear water which was 43 degrees. No fish in the trap and we left at 9:22.
Reached the Palmer trap at 10:40. Just a trickle of clear water and no fish in the trap so on up the Gorge to the Siletz Falls trap and arrived at 10:40.
There were 17 Steelhead of which 5 were holdover's from Wednesday. The water was clear and 41 degrees. The count:
Wild 2 m 4 f
Hatchery 8 m 3 f
The wild fish were put back down the ladder. The hatchery fish were loaded up and taken across the river to the truck. We took the 11 Steelhead to Olalla reservoir and released them at the bottom of the boat ramp. A few interested anglers came over to watch and ask a few questions. The Olalla water was 57 degrees at the ramp. Left Olalla at 1:44 and got back to the Pig House at 2:02.
Bill was a bit antsy all day as this was his last day before departing on a 2 week motorcycle trip south and east of Newport (warmer clime). The Gorge was very busy today with the most vehicles I have encountered yet.
