SILETZ TRAP RUN:

Trap run for Friday, Mar. 5

Wayde & Bill left the pig house at 8:20 and headed for Siletz. Bill had to do a stream survey on Buck Creek from the Siletz river to the gorge road, about a half mile of stream. He was looking for spawning beds (redds) and any live fish. I dropped him off at the Buck Creek bridge at 9:21. He reached the gorge road at 9:48. He found 5 redds but saw no fish. The water was 43 degrees.

We proceeded up the gorge to the Siletz Falls trap arriving at 10:20. There was 1 wild female and we left her in the trap. She and others will be used for hatchery brood stock. The water was 42 degrees. We left the trap at 10:46 and headed back down the gorge.

We went through Toledo and up the 1000 Line Road to the Bohanon trap. No fish and the water was 42 degrees. Went back to town via North Beaver Creek and arrived at 1:48. No unusual wildlife were seen.
