How's the Stave fishing? Are there still good numbers of decent fish around?

Fished the Stave last weekend...still had good numbers around and quite a few clean fish.  Was wondering.... now that the peak part of the season has past what it would be like this weekend?  Anyone out yesterday?

Fished it this morning, it was very slow.  I did manage to hook up a decent looking chum but it got off pretty quick.  And if you can believe it, a spawned out fur coat chum took a wooly bugger.

Back when I lived down that way, I found the Stave peaked for Coho around the last week of October.  Kicked but on the fly (olive wooly buggers) but also hit fish on spinners and such to change things up.  Would hit a few clean fish up until late December if you know where to look.

New to fishing in BC and did the Stave a few weeks back and numbers were high - Tried last week but was quite busy so left.

How was today?

Sunday the fishing was good...not crowded....released a dozen zombies searching for one for the smoker...couple guys showed up around 10am when I was packing it in and nailed a large doe that was as good as it gets for Chum...nicest one I've ever seen in the Stave...they wanted the roe so I struck out there as well.

All in all a nice morning even with the downpour...my last trip to the Stave for this year.

I was hanging out looking to vulture roe off a group of Chinese fishermen.  They were explaining how they make fish cakes from the fish and any reasonable fish is fine as they, from what I understood, puree the fish and add wine and something (language barrier) to give it consistency.  They were very friendly and gave me the roe from their doe.  They were bottom bouncing, but they were releasing everything they snagged outside of the mouth.

Hearing an explanation why these degraded fish were retained was interesting.  Thumbs up to them for releasing all the snagged fish.

Interesting Matt...least you got the roe.

I forgot to mention I was also teased by a nice spring that showed itself twice but was not interseted in jigs, blades or roe.
