SCHOONER FISH TRAP REPORT >> for >> Monday >> 5 January 11

SCHOONER FISH TRAP >< IS TO BE CONSIDERED >< OUT OF COMMISSION >>> Effective Monday >> 5 January 2K11 

 

Current Trap Conditions >>>>

 

Suffice to say NO FISH >>!!!<< Team Furgason found the Creek Riled / Raging & the Trap Completely Blocked, at the head gate, with about 4 & half feet of Mud / Gravel. There was almost no flow (2 to 4 inches) on the downstream side of the head gate.

 

When the Creek Flow subsides considerably >< This is going to require a Substantial Work Party effort to clear the trap & make it operational.

 

NOTE >< We were able to put the New SPOT Device in a cool Waterproof Black Plastic Ammo Box (Compliments of Wayde Dudley).  The Ammo Box can be found in front of the wheel barrow.

 

Road Conditions >>>>

 

We experienced some dangerous road surface slip joints on the Coast HWY just before & after the usual Beverly Beach Bridge Locations.

 

It is necessary, because of high water on the Drift Creek Road cut off, to go into Lincoln City & take the Schooner Creek Road into the trap. You will come to a very serious asphalt slip, which has resulted in a one way traffic situation.

 

We did not experience any serious problems on the gravel section of Schooner Road & the actual Trap Access Road was very passable.

 

Future Trap Operations >>>>

 

Team Furgason will be Stand By, awaiting further instructions, regarding it’s Friday Trap Commitment ???
