Friday, Oct. 26
Roger Wilson, Ryan Miner and Wayde Dudley visited the trap this morning. It was cool and no rain. The river was about a foot higher than my last visit. No dry rock now.
The trap held a total of 51 fish:
2 wild male Coho ( sent back down river with insructions not to return)
3 wild female Coho ( sent back down river with insructions not to return)
1 wild Steelhead females
29 hatchery Steelhead females
14 hatchery Steelhead males
43 of the Steelhead were recycled back into the stream a 5 locations upstream from the trap to Gravel Creek.
9 fish had seal marks where they had been bitten and 1 had net marks.
Saw no mammels of note. I did watch a Water Ouzel now renamed an American Dipper (conclus mexicanus) as it searched underwater among the rocks for food. We saw a Ruffed Grouse (bonasa umbellus) along side the road.
Back in town by 1300. My next trip is Friday, November 2.
