Wayde and Bill Sigler made the Siletz Falls trap run today. We were on the road at 0820 and headed east towards Siletz. Saw 2 deer just past the Logsden store. The gorge was very quiet with no CB chatter on the way up.
The water was down to the top of the old diversion structure just upstream from the trap. I did not get a water temperature because my laser thermometer was on the fritz.
We had a total of 29 Steelhead in the trap. The scorecard is getting more complicated now that we have winter and summer fish along with hatchery and wild so now the fish are classified into those 4 categories. The results:
Winter
Hatchery 7 males 2 females
Wild 1 male 3 females
Summer
Hatchery 3 male 4 female
Wild 3 male 5 females
for a total of 28 fish.
We saw 1 deer on the way down the gorge and the logging activity had begun.
We returned 7 summer fish to the river at the Moonshine Park boat ramp. My thermometer was working by then and the river was 50 degrees. We got back to town at 12:30.
