Methow Valley Fish Report

Lakes open next Saturday April 27th.  There are some large trout that have been planted in the local lakes.  I would use a 130 grain sink tip with a green wooly bugger to start out.  Experiment with colors and sizes to dial in what the fish want.  Also try varrying speeds when retriving the fly.  Once you find what they are hitting keep using it.  If you need to get some fishing in before the opener, Omak Lake is open year round and has been fishing well.  The unique Lahontan Cutthroat trout cruz along the shore line in packs making for fun sight fishing.  Use a floating line with 12′ of leader and a size 10 bead head prince nymph.  Also Jeff and I found that a sink tip with a small size 10 green wooly burger work well also.  You will need a Tribal fishing license available at Walmart in Omak.  If you have any questions about my report, reply to this post down below.  I will answer your questions as soon as possible.  Tight Lines – Greg
