SCHOONER CREEK FISH TRAP:

Merry Christmas everyone,

We had another fishy day at Schooner Creek this week. On Thursday there was a total of 6 Coho (4 males and 2 females) at the trap, all wild. Three fish were released upstream and three were sent downstream as they were already dead. Three dead fish in the trap, with two caught by the gills in the entrance grate and one forced against the back wall. We also witnessed a female Coho on her nest below the bridge. No other wildlife up there but did catch a glimpse of the elk herd as they were heading back to the timber for the day. The day was warm and the sky clear.
Mike
