Went for a nice walk along the Stave River today.
Lots of eagles and still a couple poachers taking back fish after fish back to there car after hooking some really beat up fish from the side channel Placed a quick call to the DFO and provided a license plate. It was funny watching the three people take back a whole bunch of near dead fish (Spring, Chum and a one cherry red Coho).
Judging by the new signs along the river I guess BCHydro doesnt think the dam will make it through a earthquake.

THIS HAPPENS EVERY YEAR, APPARENTLY THEY DEEP FRY THEIR FISH/FERTILIZER ! GROSS !

The chum I was catching back in mid November looked like they were already inedible. The chum these guys today were catching looked living dead and all rotten.
It's kinda sad when people can afford to drive to the river in a fairly new Nissan Altima (DFO has the plate number), but can't afford to eat a fish that doesn't have its flesh all rotten.

Is it true that you can't fish in the spawning channel, I can't find any concrete regs anywhere, and the stave is not even listed in the Provincial regs, suprisingly enough.
I've wandered way down along the backwaters below the spawning channel where all those 'anglers' fish, I'm assuming that is okay...
Anyone know what the official boundary is for the no fishing area? I see people in the channel between the two bridges all the time.
Cheers,
Nicole

The body fat content of those fish make them exquisite at this time. ;) Less fat the better I say. :) Just take the skin off, don't eat it. :-X

so what your saying is just take the rotting skin off the chum from the stave and there good to eat? I'll pass!
C.K.

On the topic of the Stave, how's it do for steelhead? I'm assuming it won't really get going until Christmas if it does at all.
