  with a few changes in our crew members. Lisa
  Prisk and Shannon Sparks will not be working at
  the trap-site this year (2006).

  the summer as she will be going to school in
  September.

• The fish count for the month was 67 (41 grilse
  and 26 salmon).
• Counts are up compared to August last year which
  was 28 grilse/salmon.
• This increase may be due to cooler water
  temperatures.
• There was 1 mortality for this month.
• It appeared to be caused by a predator and not
  from poaching.
• There appears to be more anglers this year
  compared to last.

• We have not transported any salmon to Charlo due
  to their lack of funding for the hatchery.
• Unfortunately, there may not be any fish sent to
  the hatchery again this year.
• The crew members have been getting to work on
  time and have been doing a good job.
• There has been no problems and everything has
  been running smoothly.

• Water temperatures varied from 11 to 22 degrees
  Celsius during the month with is comparable to
  last September.
• The water level was low this month and may have
  had an effect on our daily catch.

Monthly ReportSeptember 1 to October 6, 2006

• The total count for the month was 60 (28 grilse
  and 32 salmon).
• Last year, there were 152 grilse/salmon processed
  during the month of September.
• In September 2004, we processed a total of 343
  grilse/salmon.
• It is possible that the lower counts may
  partially be due to the lower than normal water
  level.
• The total count for the year was 128 (69 grilse
  and 59 salmon).

• Due to late funding, the Charlo hatchery was only
  up and running in the later part of September.
• On the 20th, I received a call from Bob Baker
  advising me that the hatchery was now able to
  accept salmon.
• Our goal was to supply the hatchery with 20
  salmon (10 males and 10 females).
• Arrangements were made to have access to the
  Bands truck for the week.
• I then made a trip to Charlo to pick up the
  holding tank, oxygen tank, and the necessary
  supplies to transport the fish to Charlo.
• Broodstock was then collected and we were able to
  supply the Charlo hatchery with 13 grilse/salmon
  (6 males and 7 females).
