Hello anglers. Time for another fish report. Things to note this week – Good news. It looks like the Methow river will reopen March 1st. There will be a small window of a few weeks to fish before it closes again. From what I know, the majority of the fish are in the middle to upper Methow river. A good bet for catching a Steelhead, when it opens, would be an egg pattern dead drifted under an strike indicator. Ill keep you posted as soon as I hear more information. In the mean time here is a photo of me and a nice wild Steelhead from last year.
