<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">FYI-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On Wednesday August 22<sup>nd</sup> we intend to slowly begin the installation of Willow Creek weir for the 2018 trapping season (we’ll be putting the gate in Thursday).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will be in the same location as last year, just upstream of Trinity River Farms.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a new-style boat gate this year (floating-type, like the Hoopa Tribe’s gate at Tish Tang), which we believe we have designed to allow rafts and boats to float over it. It’s submerged. There is signage indicating where it is, and
it is the only part of the weir line doesn’t stick up a couple of feet…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have located the boat gate on the Hwy 96 side of the river (river left, headed downstream), and we believe that we’ve left enough space for boaters to comfortably navigate the culvert that is stuck in the riverbed below us. There will
be a fish trap in the river upstream of the weir line, but just river right of the gate.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will have someone staffing the weir site 24/7 for the duration of the season, so if you need help please ask.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’ll try to keep our eyes peeled and render assistance when/if needed, but please give us a BIG holler if you know you’re going to need help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
