[env-trinity] 2022/23 CDFW Trinity River Project trapping summary through Julian week 35

[Kier, Mary Claire@Wildlife]

Greetings!
Attached please find the TRP trapping summary through JW 35 (September 2).
I've just realized that I've missed more than a week of these, so my apologies. A lot going on in the Trinity basin the last couple of weeks.
In mid-August the fish were looking none too good down in the Klamath so the flows were ramped up (out of Lewiston, on the Trinity) to try to improve conditions. The flow augmentation happened on such short notice that although we had been staging to install the Willow Creek weir we were unable to do so because of the hiked flows. We got about a third of it built before it got too deep/swift at our current site.
We've been dealing with elevated smoke levels at both weir sites, though often it's only a couple of hours a day that are hazardous.
We look to be in between runs at JCW, only a few steelhead caught all last week. We certainly expect that to change soon.
Keep in mind the ad-clipped Chinook numbers will be quite low this year as the largest segment of the returning fish (3 year olds) are the fish from brood year 2019 that received no clips due to Covid-19.
Cheers!
MC
