Theres pcoket water on the stave? I always thought the Stave was similiar to the Fraser.
When it is as low is it is now, there is pocket water on the west side.

Was on the stave today, caught nothing but a sun tan, fished black like you said, nothing, green, red, crystal flash, egg sucking leech in purple and black, indicator with three different egg patterns and stone fly.... Ten different patterns or more...NOT a bump, watched them swim by the fly a few times and turn but never took anything...Only guys who did catch around me were two spey guys who were flossing and one guy with your typical bouncing betty, no float....Just choked the thing as hard as he could and started reeling...both groups brought in a few with these methods...It's interesting, they all released the fish promptly but strange to watch guys be successful with that method and your not catching squat...Doesn't mean I'd switch any time soon..but makes you wonder who's really the fool...Thanks Jeff for the heads up, appreciate it buddy...

Today was the tuffest I have seen it in two years. I don't know where you were fishing, but your reference to the spey guys tells me you were fishing the deep water by the trailor court, or by the toilet bowl. You want to be fishing fast water (check your mail).

well i took batsnagger out on wednesday  after work and we hit the west side also
we had a soso day, i hooked into my first  chum after about ten min of drifting some roe
bang fish on it goes nuts, ariels, surface runs, then goes down deep and sits there
after a minute of just holding there i go to give it a gentle tug to get it moving again  :o :o :o
BANG SNAP there goes the top half of the top section of my rod zinging down my line 
and comes to rest on my new STEALTH float  :-[ :'( :'(
well i did manage to bring the fish in  ;D
a fairly clean 18lb chum buck and met his demise fairly shortly later.

well after sulking for a few minutes  because this is the very first rod that has ever busted on me
batsnagger offers me his back up rod so of we go to get it out of his car   ;)
well after we get back  batsnagger gets into his very first chum hes a little nervous after watching what happened to me lol
but in the end he lands it well but its started to get a few spots so away it goes

so that was it for us it was starting to get dark
man i hope my fish smokes up well its got to be the most expensive fish ive ever landed  :P
ohwell i smell a very early xmass present coming really soon LMAO

untill next time  cnm
