Methow River Steelheading

If you are wanting to do any steelheading on this eastern Washington stream I would have to say the time is right. We have had nothing but "Rave" reviews coming out of this stream. In fact some of the reports that we have had are just "Fantastic", without giving up too much information.

Floats and jigs have been the standard fare for most of the conventional fishermen with a spoon or a spinner thrown in for good measure. The fly guys have been indicator fishing with dark nymph patterns with a trailing single egg pattern or bead. Indicator fishing has been far more productive than has been the traditional technique of swinging the fly.
