Title: Looking for suggestions.. Fishing Sunday
Post by: iRobertO on October 27, 2011, 07:44:33 PM: I'm looking for a suggestion on where to fish Sunday.. Maybe you all can help; some guidelines..
- has to have boat launch (jetboat so obviously power boats allowed)
- prefer to get out of the boat and fly fish, but a little float fishing wouldn't hurt either
- prefer a river that actually has fish in the system :)
- be nice to catch a coho but fighting a bunch of chum sounds fun too
- no gong shows

Last couple of weekends we've been to the upper Pitt (not a bite and only saw a handful of fish), Harrison river (thousands of fish dead and alive but they didn't seem too hungry). How about the stave? I have never been but have heard its a busy place.

Any suggestions?

From my experiences fishing from a boat you should be fine at stave. It does get busy on Sunday's but nothing too bad. Also there are a ton of spots you can try fly fishing on the stave, especially when you have a jet boat.
Cheers
