STAND DOWN AT CAMP PALMER CREEK (2008)

ALL GOOD THINGS must come to an End & Today we (Frank Stout, Bob Abbott and Myself) Officially Closed Camp Palmer Creek for 2008, by removing Frank's Trailer back to Longview Hills. Casey will pull the remaining Stop Logs and release the few remaining Steelhead in the ponds.

SPECIAL THANKS to a lot of very fine people, for another 50+ Thousand Steelhead Smolts that were acclimated at the Palmer Creek Beaver Ponds and released into the Siletz Watershed, for their Run to the Sea. This is not without some peril. It is estimated, that if all goes well, we will see only about 10% of these fish return again next year. Be that as it may, This is the 2nd successful year for this Vital ODFW Fisheries Management Project. It would not have been possible, without the generous investment of Time and Treasure from various members of the 3 Coastal Fishing Clubs. As Members of the Longview Hills Fishing Club, we are very pleased to stand with and acknowledge the contributions made, to this worthwhile effort by our friends representing the Central Coast Fly Fishers and the Mid Coast Chapter of the Northwest Steelheaders.
