SILETZ FISH TRAP:

Raining as Casey and I left the Pig Palace and headed up to Schooner. Trap was flowing well, but no fish. Raining as we left and headed to Siletz, posting Chinook Closure/deadline signs at all the parks, bridges, etc along the way. Raining as we left Siletz for the trap up the Gorge. Raining at the Trap. Had 67 hatchery and 10 wild Steelhead, 3 Coho, and 1 Chinook to handle - all the hatchery Steelhead went for protein in the river. Raining as we left the trap and headed for Bohanan. The trap was flowing well, but no fish. Raining as we left Bohanan, checked out a few likely deer hunting (sorry - deer survey) areas along 1000 line, and met Kevin Wilson on 1200 coming up from Newport to get in a couple hours evening hunting. Raining when we got back about 5PM. Oh, did I forget to mention it was raining!!
