Subject: Trap report for Wensday!

 

John: Maybe you could pass this report on to the club members and Happy Thanksgiving to you, hope you have a good day! The schooner creek trap had one Female Coho, Hoorah-I hear this is the first one since the fish ladder replacement? The Siletz trap had thirteen steelhead, nine male and four females, two of the females were native and continued on up the river. We checked one more trap on drift creek with no fish to report.          Hank

Time for tidal extremes: The Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore.

Time for tidal extremes: The Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore.: "High tide is expected to hit 10.3 feet Friday at 10:04 a.m., followed by 10.6-foot high tides at 10:48 a.m. Saturday and 11:33 a.m. Sunday. The last time high tide hit 10.6 feet at that location was Jan. 11, 2005. In between will be some unusually low tides that will top minus 2 feet. That should provide a bit of rockhounding heaven."

National Geographic News Photo Gallery: 8-Foot Giant Catfish Caught in Cambodia: "This is the only giant catfish that has been caught this year so far, making it the worst year on record for catch of giant fish species,' said Zeb Hogan (far right), a fisheries biologist at the University of Reno in Nevada. After collecting data on the fish, Hogan released it unharmed. Giant catfish were once plentiful throughout Southeast Asia's Mekong River watershed, including the Tonle Sap River—home of the fish in these exclusive pictures taken near Phnom Penh. "

National Geographic News Photo Gallery: Taimen's Last Refuge Is Mongolia

National Geographic News Photo Gallery: Taimen's Last Refuge Is Mongolia: "Three taimen line up at the bottom of northern Mongolia's Eg River. The gigantic fish is the world's largest salmonid—the family of fish that includes salmon and trout. The species can live for more than 50 years, but they grow slowly, not reaching maturity until seven to nine years of age, experts say. Taimen migrate to their spawning habitat and can travel as much as 60 miles (97 kilometers) up- and downstream. But scientists using radio and acoustic tagging have shown that the fish generally stay in one place. "

On October 29th several members of our Fishing Club assisted ODFW with a conservation project where trees were placed in local creeks flowing in to the Yaquina and Alsea Rivers. It was a very interesting endeavor in that these trees were transported by helicopter. The goal is to provide gravel beds, deep pools and rearing ponds with the hope there will be more fish in future years. Our job was to direct traffic to insure no one crossed under the trees as they were being flown over. Thanks to Wayde Dudley and Mac Andrew for providing these pictures.

The Associated Press: Oregon Man Back Fishing Pointless

The Associated Press: Oregon Man Back Fishing Pointless: "STEAMBOAT, Ore. (AP) — Back in 1998 Lee Spencer did two things that changed his relationship with the big steelhead of the North Umpqua River. He agreed to become the first full-time FishWatch guardian of the Big Bend Pool on Steamboat Creek, where as many as 400 large steelhead spend the summer in startlingly plain sight after swimming up the North Umpqua to spawn. And he started cutting the points off the hooks on his flies. Even people who know Spencer wonder why he would want to spend summers on Steamboat Creek 12 miles upstream from the nearest pay phone watching fish wait. 'No one else would do it,' said Joe Howell, owner of the Blue Heron Fly Shop in Idleyld Park. It is even harder to understand why the 57-year-old would cut the points off his hooks and file the wire stump smooth — denying himself the satisfaction of controlling, touching and ultimately setting free something so wild and beautiful. 'I was uncomfortable fishing,' Spencer said. 'I like these fish too much to kill them, even accidentally, or even to stress them out, unduly. 'It took me a month or a month and a half to not want to see the fish up close,' he added. 'I am not proselytizing fishing pointless, but my fishing is as good or better than it ever has been, as far as my own satisfaction.'"

FISH CAUGHT REPORT


CLICK HERE

We are trying something new (now, no groans). To the right you will see a small sign flashing "New". This is a link that takes you to a page called "Fish Trap Reports". We have taken what information we have and have started a journal, or history, of our fish trap experience so we can see how the fish count changed, check on the weather, or just see who was where and when. Make sense? Perhaps not. We will try to keep an accounting in the future of each and every visit to any of the fish traps the Longview Hills Fishing Club helps to service with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

10/19/07 and 10/22/07

Wayne Hill, Frank Stout, Wayde and I went to the Schooner Creek Fish Trap on Friday, October 19th to install new locks and check on the condition of the trap. There was quite a bit of work done on the ladder and several safety features added to the fish trap. There were no fish but the gate was clogged with leaves and debris which had to be cleaned out. Also, Frank Stout got down in the trap to shovel the gravel which had accumulated. Everything else appeared to be in good shape.

Our regular team duty started on Monday, October 22, 2007. John Spangler, Wayne Hill and I went back to check the trap. The gate was again clogged and Wayne Hill got down in the trap to clean it out. We were surprised how much debris had accumulated since Friday. There still were no fish, but we all agreed it was a such a beautiful spot we could not consider it a waste of time.

We had our general membership meeting on Thursday, October 18th at the Clubhouse. After a quick business meeting we had a quick report on the U-DA-MAN Tournament as well as thanks from members of their Board.

Stephanie Payne, a Riparian Technician with the Lincoln County Soil & Water Conservation District was our guest speaker and talked about invasive plant species in our Coastal area.

Also, James Ray from ODF&W spoke about the traps our Club helps to monitor. We will start again monitoring the Schooner Creek Trap next week. Several volunteers who will be helping at the fish traps stayed after the meeting as James gave us a run-through on the operating and safety instructions for anyone working or visiting the fish traps.

Charlotte Observer | 10/21/2007 | Balloons gave fishing trip a bang

Charlotte Observer | 10/21/2007 | Balloons gave fishing trip a bang: "The picture showed a friend of my friend hoisting a king of about 40 pounds and grinning as if he had just ascended to the throne of, oh, say England. At that special moment, his glee, at least to thousands of saltwater anglers, is highly understandable. Few thrills of inshore fishing on the coast from Oregon Inlet to Beaufort, S.C., match taking kings on relatively light tackle when they are feeding wildly, as they do so often in the fall."
