SILETZ FISH TRAP:
Wednesday, 2/20/2008
Bill Furgason, Roger Wilson and Wayde Dudley went to the Palmer and Siletz traps today. The weather was great, river was down and pretty clear. A herd of about 20 elk were seen on the north side of the road half a mile west of the Logsden store. A large group of Canadian geese were in the same area.
Palmer had 1 hatchery male. We filled the tank with water in anticipation of wild fish at Siletz. Many fishermen on the river today and the logging activity was busy.
Siletz had 7 steelhead. 2 wild hens and 1 wild buck, 4 hatchery hens and 3 hatchery bucks. The wild fish were transported across the river and into the truck tank. Roger will take them to Alsea for brood stock.
The big news for me was I found the knife I lost last Friday. It was in the upper chamber of the Siletz trap.
