This in from Wayde today (Friday, January 15, 2010)
Wayde and Bill Sigler checked the traps today. Rain and wind all day. No wildlife of note seen. We left town at 8:40 after running a few errands and headed for Schooner Creek.
Schooner Creek Trap
1 wild male Steelhead water temp was 39f
The trap had about 24" of debris against it. We left it in place as it provides some quiet water in the trap where fish can rest. The Schooner trap design does not allow any calm spot for the fish to take a break. We had brought 2 small pieces of plywood to use for that purpose but the debris was just as effective. Left for Siletz at 9:48.
Palmer Trap
1 female Coho in the trap and another Coho in the pool below the trap. water temp was 40f
Arrived at the Palmer trap at 11:08. Bill cleared out the local beaver's work and we headed up the gorge at 11:36.
Siletz Falls Trap
1 male native Steelhead
1 hatchery female Steelhead
Arrived at 12:15 and crossed the river. Water was high, about 2 feet below the top of the wall.
Left at 12:45 and headed down the gorge.
Bohannon Trap
2 male Coho
1 female Coho
1 female hatchery Steelhead water temp of 41f
Arrived at 2:25. Trap was clean and fairly clear. Left for Newport at 3:00 pm.
Got back in Newport at 4:00 pm. First time I have seen at least 1 fish in all four traps.
