[env-trinity] 2020/21 CDFW Trinity River Project trapping summary through Julian week 41

[Kier, Mary Claire@Wildlife]

Greetings!
Attached please find the TRP trapping summary through JW 41 (Oct 14).
The Junction City weir is out for the season and after JW 41 the Trinity River Hatchery will have their "spawning break" which means their fish ladder will be closed for the next couple of weeks to segregate the spring Chinook from the incoming fall Chinook.
At Willow Creek weir we got a slug of steelhead this week, and a few salmon as well.

As a reminder, especially for you folks new to the distribution list, the weir trapping results show only a portion of the fish in the river. We hope to trap about 10%  of the runs in order to make our estimates, but the weir is open for unimpeded fish movement quite a bit and sometimes when we aren't trapping a lot of fish get by us. Much of that is by design.
If you have any questions about any of this shoot me an email and I'll answer as soon as I can. I am at the weir over the weekend and teleworking part of the week.

And this just in: Dan Troxel (he who watches the quota in the Klamath Basin) anticipates the upper Klamath River adult Chinook quota will be met by Sunday Oct 18th, and thinks it likely that the upper Trinity closure will got into effect as of Oct 26.
Anglers can monitor the open and closed sections of the Klamath/Trinity basin by calling CDFW's info line at (800) 564-6479.

Cheers!
MC

PS Here's a pic of one of my crew (Liv) with one of the fish trapped today.
