Anyone been out to stave lately? I would think it's just about prime time for the coho to start trickling in. And now that I have all the pink roe I could want, I would like to get an early start on Coho season.

I have seen absolutely nothing on the stave yet. From the mouth to the toilet bowl. Caught a rainbow the other day but that's been it.

is the recreation site open? seems the dam is finished

North side coho usually don't show up in numbers for another month.

Yes it is .

You may want to go by the night before and see if the gate is open. I drive by there regularly and quite often the road across the dam is closed or the parking lot is gated off.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I went down this evening to check it out and was pretty slow. Might go down to Norrish tomorrow and see if anything is starting to show up.

It will be really early for the Norrish/Slough or Chehalis area yet. Go take a look for yourself but in my experience there aren't many fish around until October at the earliest.

Hatchery Coho for the Chehalis system dont show up till mid to late October. The first run of fish is the lake run and Statlu run.

Absolutely. Thanksgiving weekend or later is the time to start checking these rivers out. This is true for all the streams on the north side east of the Pitt.

The word on the Stave is Later every season, and less. That is how it seems to me anyway.

I agree that good numbers of Stave coho are still a ways away, but someone has to be the first to catch one. It wont be you if you dont go, OP

Drove by the Stave yesterday and the gate was still closed at 8:30am.

Was open when i came back through about 30 minutes later.

Is too bad they cant open that thing at first light for the fishermen.

I'd be starting to worry about the Stave and Harrison Chum. Looks like 372 less fish caught in the test fishery this year compared to 2018 and they shut it down in 2018.

Gate opens at 9am and closes at 6:30pm.
