SILETZ FISH TRAP RUN:

Good evening,

I left the office this morning around 8:00 am after meeting with Derek and Casey. I met Bill at Hee Hee Ilahee Park in Siletz and we headed up to Siletz Falls trap. We saw a nice herd of Elk (approx. 20-25) just this side of Logsden on the way up. When we got to the trap we found approx. 15 Steelhead, which we left for Bill to make a brood stock run to the Alsea on Monday. After leaving the Siletz trap we headed for Palmer Creek. The beaver hasn't been busy lately because the it hasn't had any water to dam. We finished placing the boards in the second pond and opened the upper dam to fill up the two ponds. There should be plenty of water for the new guests arriving April 5th. We left Palmer and headed for Bill's survey creek which we found to be colored up to much with the recent rains to identify any redds. Better luck when the stream clears. I dropped Bill off at his truck at Hee Hee Ilahee about 2:00 and headed back to the Pig. It was supposed to rain all day. The sun was shining and we were in tee shirts. Go figure.
Mike
