This in from Hank Bryson............If you would like to go with him next Friday, give him a call............
Howdy:
We left a 8:00 AM for the Palmer Creek Trap, We being Casey and Bill who has been helping Casey this winter on various projects and myself. The road into Palmer Creek is passable, barely, because of road slides and lots of water coming off the mountain and found the water backed up behind the trap which allowed us to get into the trap and pull out one female Coho and four hatchery Steelhead, the weir was still up on the creek except for one corner which was cleaned along with the trap. The Siletz river was dropping and Casey expects to see a good amount of fish with the lower flow of water, the steelhead were very bright fish with one having a green back like right out of the ocean.

Next stop was Bohanan which had a lot of fish, 22 Coho, 16 Males and 6 Females. Steelhead was one Jack and two hatchery fish. We spent some time cleaning out the silt and debris in and on top of the trap. The fish ladder was active while we were there, we could see them climbing for the trap and again Casey expects a lot more fish as the water drops.
The Siletz was over flood stage so we did not get to that trap.
