This is from Frank 10/04/09 (Needless to say, "Whoppee, Frank!!!!):

Let word go forth across this land that on this date Frank caught his first salmon in Oregon waters (Yaquina River between Toldedo and Elk City). At approx. 8:20 am a bouncing 14 lb, Chinook sprang forth under the loving eyes of River Angler Guide Phil Reed, witnessed and notarized by Larry Dale. The river was pretty muddy and as far as we know it was the only fish landed in that area among approx. 15 other boats.

Photo of the proud angler follows. Many thanks to Phil for his persistence to make sure that I finally landed my first legal salmon in Oregon waters. Frank

SCHOONER CREEK FISH TRAP REPORT (9 Nov. 09)

SCHOONER TRAP REPORT > 9 Nov. 09 < Compliments of Team Chinook >< 1 Lady & 3 Gentlemen + 54 Miles R/T)

 

Team Chinook was short Electric Bill today, but Linda Reed stepped up to the plate & She even brought Apple & Cherry Fritters !!! 

 

It goes without saying, her involvement along with the Trapping Skills displayed by Larry & Bud + Some Minimal Contributions by Yours Truly >< We are able to report Passing Up Stream >< 2 Beautiful Male COHO Salmon.

 

It rained hard all the while we were at the Trap, but the water flow was clear with minimum debris on the gratings. Sad to say, we saw no wildlife going in or out, but it was delightful to have Linda join us today.

Oregon Coast Foam Puts on Spectacular but Deadly Display

Oregon Coast Foam Puts on Spectacular but Deadly Display: "The algae – although harmless to humans or pets – washes off the natural oils that seabirds have to keep them insulated from the cold. Without that oil, they get hypothermia and die. They've been washing up on the beaches covered in foam - usually dead."
