Frank and Wayde made the trap run to Bohanan and Siletz along with Bill from ODF&W. Wayde drove because the paperwork is not complete for Bill yet.
We left town about 8:20 and headed south on Hwy 101 in the rain. Arrived at the Bohanan trap near 9:00 am. There were 21 Coho in the trap, all wild fish. 12 males, 9 females. 2 of the females were return fish that had been in the trap before. We left for the Siletz trap about 10:00 and the rain had lessened to just showers.
2 sites of logging on the road up the gorge. Both had highlines over the road and we had to stop and check with the CB radio before proceeding. We reached the trap at 10:55 and geared up to cross the river. Water was quite high and the falls looked great. A lot of white water. The Siletz trap help 38 fish, all Steelhead with the following breakdown:
Wild Hatchery
1 m 4 f 15 m 18 f
We worked on the fish a couple of hours and returned 33 as stream forage between the falls and Gravel Creek.
Headed back down the gorge and got back in town at 3 pm.
No wildlife was sighted.
