    January 1, 2010 at 00:00 - Operations normal.

    January 8, 2010 - High flows during the last week have shifted the
    position of the thalweg. The antennas no longer cover the thalweg and
    detectability of PIT tags has almost certainly declined.

    January 20, 2010 - Flows have decreased to well below historic median
    averages (flows are currently less than 100 cfs) according to the USGS
    gauge at the mouth of Lapwai Creek, near Lapwai, ID. The antennas still do
    not cover the thalweg.

    April 15, 2010 - Flows have increased and are approaching 100 cfs
    according to the USGS gauge. The antennas still do not cover the thalweg.

    April 23, 2010 at 11:25 - DATA COLLECTION HAS STOPPED.  Continued high
    flows have ripped the exciter cables from the antennas. Due to instability
    of the exciter cables and the shifting of the thalweg, ability to detect
    passing fish has been compromised. We removed the exciter cables to limit
    damage to the instream equipment and turned off the FS1001M MUX.
    Collection will begin again when flows decrease and we are able to repair
    the exciter cable connections.

    June 1, 2010 at 15:36 - Data collection begins again. We were able to
    anchor the exciter cables and supply power to the antennas. The antennas
    still do not cover the thalweg and detectibility remains low.
    Flows are near 100 cfs according to the USGS gauge. Despite the movement
    of the thalweg, water is still flowing over the antennas and limited
    detection of PIT tagged fish is possible.

    June 3, 2010 at 00:31 - DATA COLLECTIOIN HAS STOPPED. High flows (over
    1000 cfs according to the USGS gauge) ripped the exciter cables from the
    antennas.

    June 23, 2010 at 00:00 - The antennas are completely dry due to the
    repositioning of the thalweg during spring high flows.  We plan to
    reinstall a new interrogation system in the fall of 2010, but currently
    operations at LAP do not meet the specifications required of interrogation
    sites. We will report any subsequent detections in 2010 as
    passively-observed recapture events.  The site should be operational as an
    interrogation site beginning again in 2011.
