someone probably snagged it with their 50lb leeder while bb'ing for chums and ripped a hole in its side... ;)

I was walking around just under the dam today and there was alot of fish jumping. Would this be chum or is this too early? There was a few guys fishing but the only fish I saw caught was a small trout. In that channel just below the parking lot looked like it has a few pinks in it well past their prime.

well, when they are in thick it will be easier.
maybe move upriver to the faster flow, drift jigs blades or roe.
I heard it was crowded there today, plus low and clear and bright out, not the best conditions either.

Took a walk around today and it was not to busy. The only fish I saw where swimming away from the seal. Gates are now not open till 9:30am so if you arrive early you will have to park on the road.

Ya I noticed the 9:30 opening the other day when i was up there checking things out. What is with that? The road is going to turn into a parking lot real fast...

And I noticed the spawning channel is dug out more ( i didn't fish it last year so i don't know if this is necessarily a new thing). Not to mention the person fishing the spawning channel (not sure if it is legal or not, it doesn't say anything in the regs and i didn't see any no fishing signs so i didn't say anything to the gentleman)

Last year the Stave was done by early November.
Let's hope everything is late.

I remember the last few years people lined up fishing the spawning channel.  Yuck and why?

I am saying that early November is not necessarily the end of the salmon season on the Stave. Just ask newsman.....
