Hi,
Does the Stave have a decent run of Coho?. I have never caught a Coho and would like to change that ;D. I will be Jig fishing for chum tomorrow but would also like to do a little coho fishing and hopefully end my shutout.
-
The stave does ok for coho. Try areas away from the masses of chum, small flies work well (blue muddler minnow and kelsey's hope are my two go to flies).
-
There seems to be less coho every year, though if you know where to look you can usually score.
right now the water is Super high, and what I saw today was no fresh fish, chum or coho.
When it drops hopefully there will be some fresh fish around.Lots of Woolmart shoppers out there still too.

There was fresh fish, just not clean. They are entering as boots with sea lice

exactly that, i believe....the ones u are seeing now have been staging for awhile and have just been entering the river recently. But there are some exception where there are chrome bullet chum or hoes if u time ur fishing adventure properly and coho do exist in that system but aren't always the easiest to find considering the river is flooded with chum but they are there :P....behind the chum, infront of the chum, just far away from them.

I tied into an awesome acrobatic chum Sunday night, not chrome but clearly not a boot either, but did not get any of the smaller coho I saw rising to bite. The chum I hooked on a pink polar shrimp took me deep into my 200 yards of backing and made no less than 10 spectacular jumps before I could turn her back with the 8 wt Sage.
