SCHOONER CREEK FISH TRAP:

Proceded up to Schooner with Frank Stout. Rain, wind off and on, and fairly cool. Didn't expect any fish, but the water was running about 2ft and fast, so couldn't get a good look (even with the "special technique/tool developed by some un-named Club Member). So, on with the waders and into the water. Immediately got hit in the legs by a large moving object - which I cornered and netted: 15lb Steelhead buck. While Frank did the net-run-release thing, I found a second smaller buck and Frank was on his way again. When he returned, we concentrated on a final check, and what to our wondering eyes should appear, but a third Steelhead which was cornered briefly and then disappeared! Fish was small enough that we think it made it back down through the slot. Nice day, as it cleared up on the way out, and we saw the Elk herd on the way in and out over on Drift Creek.
