Stave River Fishing Location & Species
The Stave River is located in Mission, British Columbia. It’s a short length river that starts at the Ruskin Dam and dumps into the main stem of the Fraser River. Albeit a small river the Stave holds a decent number of species like Chum Salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead, native Rainbow Trout, Cutthroat, Whitefish and Northern Pikeminnow to mention a few. This river becomes extremely busy in October and November when the Salmon begin to enter the system. This often creates close proximity fishing and highly pressured fish.
In 2019 BC Hydro opened the new picnic site on the east side of the river (near the Ruskin Dam). This picnic has a gate that opens at 7:00 am and provides amble parking and river accessibility. Beside the picnic area and parallel to the river there is the Ruskin Spawning Channel and there is NO FISHING ALLOWED in this section of the river. However, it’s a great place for families and anglers to watch the Salmon spawn.
