<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Attached please find the TRP trapping summary through JW 35 (Sep 2).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We got the Willow Creek weir built this past week. We are not in an accessible-for-visits spot like we have been the last couple of years, so that’s a shame, but the channel changes made by the over-winter flows made the Kimtu site unworkable.
We are now located just below the Big Rock river access, behind the Mercer Fraser plant there on Highway 96. It’s a boulder-strewn patch of river and we had a big crew, and multiple days of building, but the weir is in and fishing. I haven’t had a chance to
get the data in yet but we’ve gotten about 60 fish so far, most of them in really good shape, Chinook and steelhead both, ad-clipped and not. We got an absolutely beautiful 76 cm (29”) FL steelhead a day or two ago. And the smoke has cleared up a little so
that’s been nice too.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Trinity River Hatchery started spawning of spring Chinook today. Junction City is fishing, but slow between runs. Let’s hope it all picks up substantially soon.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers!<o:p></o:p></p>
