[THE_ROE_SLINGER]

Hit the stave today early this morning..started out in the toilet bowl casting spoons. Lost one beauty chrome coho on about the 10th cast...later on at around 9:30 Inch creek Hatchery came and netted the bowl.  WOW were there ever lots of springs in there. They must of took back about 40 springs and 15 coho. SOME MONSTER SPRINGS TOO between 30 and 50 pounds. Anyway at around 11 we headed to our secret spot and were nailing beauty females on pro-cured pink roe. All fish we hooked from 11 till 12:30 were in excellent shape and ended up taking home our limit in chum does.   Will post pics once I get the camera going.

humm about 75% of the coho were chromers and the other ones were still really nice but not pure chrome. And about 50% of the springs were pure chromers and ther others were still in great shape..dark grey kinda thing.

I have never fished the stave before , are you fishing from shore or from a boat ? Where on the stave would you go and is it very crowded ? I am still trying for my first coho of the year.

Yeah last tuesday I did well with the pro-cured pink roe.  Those fresh chum make a point of gobbling it up.  Looking forward to the pics when you get them up.

there are many places to fish from shore near the ruskin dam.

I went to stave yesterday too in hoping of getting a female chum for roe but all I got are a few foul hooked one and they fight like there's no tomorrow when I hook them in the tail, it's no fun to pull them in just to unhook it. I was fishing just below the parking lot (is that called the toilet bowl?) I was using spoon, spinner and wool and they just don't bite.  I guess they like roe only?

chum will hit spoons ect if presented properly are you guys just fishing these chums for roe?

[THE_ROE_SLINGER]

No, wool and spoons do work.  Earlier in the day, we did get few chum on spoons.  Last week, we used charteuse wool and got just as many chum as we did with roe.  Years past, we would almost always use wool for chum.  Pink , and orange are good colours.  Just remember you need some current for wool to be succesful.  Wool doesn't work to well in the toilet bowl area.

It'll be bonus if it has roe , but I find the chum taste better than pink, maybe it's just me.

so what colour is charteuse? some kind of green?
