is the past you will usually get a few trickling in around now or so but the bulk doesnt really start showing until Mid October. Still worth it because the coho alot of times come in earlier and then also near the end of the chummies  ;D dont expect alot of fish to be around though.

Saw about 5 to 10 boats fishing from the bridge up to the booms on my way home today.

Ive heard chum in the stave are hard to catch just because the have massive sharp teeth that cut the line when they bite on the lure.
Any truth to that?

Bobo is right, even with 8 and 10lb leader I have not run into that issue

Flies



Spoons and spinners work as well. You will find that chum of all the salmon species are probably the least picky when it comes to color and lures. Greens seem to be the best but I am sure its more of a confidence thing with that color for me than anything else.

I would... lures in the lower, they all seem to have some success. Small bright spoons maybe, crocks work well but I prefer ovals like Little Cleo or Gibbs Coho.
jigs, big flashy ones like Bent Rods Jigs farther up in the current shortfloated. Or colorado blades, or  spoons in deeper slower water.But thats just me.

   The best thing to use besides flies is Bent rod's chum jigs. Purple over pink was incredible last year. Just short float the jig. You will be really surprised how well they work.
