Reason for action: This four-month fishery will provide winter angling opportunity in the Omak/Okanogan area and take advantage of an abundant spiny ray population within Leader Lake.

METHOW VALLEY WEEKLY FLY FISHING REPORT
Hello anglers. Time for another fish report. Things to note this week – There is not much to report. Rivers are closed and lakes are freezing over. In a few weeks, when the ice gets thick enough to stand on, ice fishing will be a possibility for those so inclined. The other fishing option for Steelhead would be the Okanogan River. Report of nice size fish have been coming in and the bite has picked up in the last few weeks. Ruffus Woods Lake triploid trout fishing has been good also. Ill let you know as soon as I hear more.
