SCHOONER CREEK TRAP (2008)

SCHOONER CREEK FISH TRAP >>>> IS NOW OPEN FOR WINTER BUSINESS >>>>>>>>> (21 October 2008)

 

What a GREAT DAY we had getting the Access Road & Trap Open for the Winter Run of Salmon & Steelhead. We had 14 Stalwart Members of our fine Fishing Club involved in clearing brush from the road & installing a new entry/egress ladder at the trap. It should also be mentioned that we had a CHUCK WAGON that “Burned some Berger’s & Dogs” for the Hungry Work Crew. Special Thanks are in order for  Dean Fleck, of  Englund Marine, who donated all of the Stainless Steel Fasteners, which enabled Brian Hudson & Butch Minich to secure the ladder for, as they said, another 50 years !!!!  

 

NOW >><<  The real work begins >><<  Effective on Monday, 27 Oct 2008, & every following Monday, over the Winter Months, our Fishing Club will be sending Trapper Teams into the trap to collect Critical Data, which will be used by ODFW Biologists to make Sustainability Determinations regarding the Salmon & Steelhead using Schooner Creek as a Spawning Habitat.

 

PLEASE >>< Consider becoming a member of one of our Trapper Teams >><< If you are so inclined, contact Wayne “Big Fish” Hill & he will be glad to explain what is involved & help you fit into our Trap Team Servicing Schedule >>>> I can assure you …….. You will find it to be a fun & rewarding experience ……..
