4/9/10 Trap Run
Bill and Wayde discussed various fish related issues in the office with Derek and Casey. We left, gassed up and headed south on Hwy 101 at 8:20. We arrived at the Bohanan trap about 9:50. The water was lower and very clear, 48 degrees, but no fish. We left and headed for Palmer via the 1000 Line road.
Frank and Larry were still at Palmer Creek. The trailer was hooked up and ready to go. The campsite was policed up and looked good. No fish in the Palmer trap. Water was clear and 47 degrees. Bill and I left at 11:30 and headed east up the gorge.
We reached the Siletz Falls at 12:10. There were 9 Steelhead in the trap.
Wild 2 male 3 female
Hatchery 3 male 1 female
The 2 wild males were punched and put back down the ladder. The 3 wild females were left in the trap to be taken to Alsea Hatchery for Brood stock. Water was 40 degrees.
The 4 hatchery fish were transported across the river to the truck and taken to Olalla Reservoir and released. I would love to see somebody hook into one of those fish.
We got back to the Pig House at 2:55 pm. Did not see any wildlife except squirrels.
