<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this finds you well and optimistic about a new year ahead. Please find attached the TRP trapping summary through JW1 (January 7<sup>th</sup>). For those of you who don’t know me, I have worked along side Mary Claire since 2017 and
I will be taking over some of her responsibilities in her retirement, including distributing this trap summary.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">With the exception of a few stragglers since Christmas, the salmon run to Trinity River hatchery has come to a close with lack luster returns for fall Chinook and Coho. Operations have shifted to steelhead spawning with a notable uptick
in returns of half-pounders. Well, at least half-pounders as we define them to be less than 42 cm fork length, which doesn’t necessarily mean they exhibit a true half-pounder life history.<o:p></o:p></p>
