Hello anglers. Time for another fish report. Things to note this week – Fishing reports have still been very few and far between. Methow rivers are closed to steelhead fishing. Other fishing options: Steelhead on the Okanogan River and triploid trout fishing at Ruffus Woods Lake. You could go ice fishing on Patterson or Leader Lake for bass, trout, perch and bluegill. For ice fishing info and gear call the Winthrop ACE Hardware store at (509) 996-2150.
I will be writing bi-monthly reports until the fishing picks up in the valley. If you have any questions call the Flyfishers Pro Shop at 509-996-2832.
