All I know, is I was still fishing for them into November.  The vast majority were in very poor shape but they had pretty well flooded the system - much like the pinks in the Vedder.

Even if the bulk of the run is over there should still be more of them coming over the next two weeks or so.

Nicest chum I caught in the Stave last year was in November (still had lice on it). Based on what's around now I think there's still lots of time left.

Was at least as crowded as Ive ever seen it, cars parked all over the place.
Funny, not one person fishing in the spawning channle all day.
had a heyday drifting jigs for chum, some clean ones around.
saw a beaut coho from the bowl on a fly
found coho jacks in a few spots but tide dependant.taste great though

I went out yesterday for the first time this year.  There were lots of fish flopping around and many of them looked quite fresh.  Doesn't seem to be as many around "yet" as last year, however, I found the peak last year to be around the 25th of October.  Hoping it gets better and better in the next few days.

We caught some really fresh chum at the Stave on Monday.
The first part of the day (rising tide) was all old fish, but once the tide turned and after the current slowed the fresh fish started to show. We caught 6 fish in a row that were green with white bellies - kept 2 does for the smoker.
Peach over Chartreuse jig (short floated) was like crack to the fresh chum - they absolutely attacked it.

Further to FN0551, effective immediately, that portion of the Stave River,
known as the Ruskin Spawning Channel on the east bank of the BC Hydro park from
the inlet near the dam, downstream to the boat ramp crossing is closed to
salmon fishing until further notice.

I have been turning left off the highway at the gas station and going up the road about 2k and cars are parked there and we stop and go down the trail to the river.
is that the portion that is closed?

Searay85.......I've been fishing the local rivers here for 15 years and most of the rivers on the north side of the Fraser get a slighlty later run of Coho.Usually can pickup chrome fish right into late November.Unfortunately the chums are just starting and still have weeks to go yet.I've caught fresh Coho in the first week of January on the Chehalis!
