A friend and I went fishing last wenday at the stave river have a great day catching coho..Next thing we know we are getting a fine for too many coho one over 35cm and two small jacks so i was fine $200.00 ok so fine go as $100.00 + $50.00 + $50.00 i was over by two fish by them. so by right its only $150.00 fine not $200.00 ok 4 days later i get a phone call from DFO saying that i was in the right

You were in the right, it should have been $150 fine? Or you were in the right, there should have been no fine?

I've had a hard time finding the correct current limit's for the Stave from any place.
I called 3 different local fishing stores on Tuesday and each store told me different limits... frist store told me 4 coho for the stave, next told me 1 coho for the stave, and last store told me 2. I was very clear about the Stave river.
DFO are no help with there website... Only found fraser info etc.. This is crazy! I don't want a fine. Local DFO's will not pick up the phone, or return my messages. If you have a link to the Stave's Current Limits please post it.. Thank you.

One more thing to note: One store told me that the Stave is *NOT* Tidal Waters, other two store told me it was Tidal Waters. Which is it? thanks!

Ok I've found the Stave listed under B.C. Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis. http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/fresh-douce/region2-eng.htm
But with old info... ______________________________________________
TIDAL BOUNDARIES ON RIVERS IN REGION 2 Note: Provincial freshwater regulations apply above these boundaries and Federal tidal regulations apply below these boundaries:
Stave R.: CPR Bridge ???? CPR is that at the mouth/fraser area?
So it is not tidal above area I guess.
I think I'm going to have a beer now. _______________________________________
SALMON REGULATIONS IN FRESH WATER The management of salmon fisheries in B.C., in both tidal and fresh waters, is the responsibility of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The regulations for salmon fishing in fresh water are not included in this Synopsis, but are available from any DFO Office or through the on-line Freshwater Salmon Supplement at DFO’s website (www.pac.dfo-mpo. gc.ca/recfish).
DFO's site:
Stave River
downstream of B.C. Hydro Dam to the CPR railway Bridge except for portion described below
Coho
Apr 01 - Mar 31, 4 per day only 2 over 35 cm.
!!!!!! That doesn't help, date wise !!!!!!!!! (or is that from year to year?)
Looked at Updates: Openings & Closures I could not find the Stave listed in the postings.
