Lots of fish on sunday with a jig. Fisheries and CO's checking everyone when hydro came in to clear the parking lot. Kinda funny watching people try to ditch their catch when they got to the parking lot. They even checked me and I wasn't packing any fish.

Sorry fellas for asking but is the Stave closed for Chum retention? Also where can we legally park?

you can keep 2 chums, or 4 hatchery cohos, or all together 4 salmons.

as regarding parking for the west side, sorry, I don't know.

Just learned that from Oct. 27 on there is no retention for chum.

I'm not 100% sure where is absolutely legal, but when I start to get concerned about getting towed on the west side of the river, I'll park way down from the trailer park, on the west side of the road and completely off the pavement. So far, so good.....

Went out yesterday and yes, they were biting my jigs on almost every cast.  There is no good reason to bottom bounce or snag when the fish bite so agressively.

Agreed! They are very aggressive fish!  I'm just hoping that now they are closed for retention they gong show will move on and open up some shoreline to keep enjoying them for C&R only.

Those of you who will be out C&R-ing chum on the Stave, please do so with the utmost respect for the fish.
Also, please please please, act as true stewards of the resource and prevent the ignorant individuals who don't even bother to check the in-season regulation changes from bonking fish. You'd be surprised how many of those you can encounter in one day.

I sure as hell will keep my eyes wide open on the flows I'll be fishing this weekend.

Tight lines.

I'll second  jigs effectiveness. I went out twice in the last 2 weeks. I found a nice spot on the westside not a far wade from the bottom bouncers. Walked in and both times 1st cast fish on!!! Any jig with a purple/cherise or purple/chartreuse colour worked. I tie my own and have my own killer jig. Both times out 20+ fish in a couple hours. I even had old timers chucking blades or wool come over a see what I was using. Fun times!!! I always C&R as I don't use roe. Caught some nice does when retention was still open. Let them go to help rebuild the run.

Nothing better than the look on people's faces when they are dying to bonk an old boot and you're releasing a chrome doe. I don't know how many people questioned my sanity and suggested I give the fish to them!

I always offer people my fish, provided I can keep the roe.

Is that legal?  I guess providing they have a license and counts towards their retention total?

You can give a person a fish but technically they are supposed to have a letter from you with all your info on it.

I suppose it's no different then giving it to a friend or neighbour or something when you get home, it just somehow seems a little different when you're at the river.
