Wayde and Bill Platte made the trap run today.
We first went to the Palmer trap and got it ready to "fish" by installing the intake weir, finishing the weir in the mainstream to force the fish into the trap and pulling 2 boards in the main diversion headwall. When we left it was all in order.
The water temp was 46 F.
Drove on up the gorge to the Siletz trap. River was up pretty high, 7 or 8 is my guess. The trap had flow and was not too silted up. There were 6 steelhead in the trap.

2 of these fish were winter Steelhead and the rest were summers. Saw 1 fisherman vehicle on the road and no wildlife.
The water temp was 41 F.
We left there at noon and headed back down the gorge on our way to the Bohanan trap.
Bohanan had 19 wild Coho.
8m 9f 2jacks
The water temp was 50 F.
We left the trap at 2:20 and got into town at 3:20. Sprinkled most of the day with the temp in the 50s.
