Methow Fishing Report
You know what they say “when one door closes another opens” and for this season the door has close on steelhead, but now the door to epic trout fishing opens. As great as steelhead are they seem to draw a crowd that is a bit more serious about things where as the trout fisher is a bit more relaxed and out for fun.

I like to start my trout season as I have mentioned before with a trip to some of our year-round and early opener lakes such as Omak Lake, as well anything I can find in the Methow with an open corner or two. I have been amazed in the past at what a small opening in the ice can produce. Some of my best catches of the early season have come from ravenous trout patrolling any open water they can find.
Here at Methow Fishing Adventures we know how to connect the dots to make for fishing open water all year round. With a selection of public and private waters to choose from a good time is a guaranty. There are no additional rod fees to fish our private waters, if you are interested in booking a trip just go top our Guides page and drop us a line or give us a call.
We at Methow Fishing Adventures would like to wish everyone a Happy Spring and a hearty Fish On!
Garth’s First Steelhead
Garth’s 1st ever steelhead
This one was great, Garth’s friend Jason was fish on so I scooped his fish, snapped a quick shot for him and ran because Garth was on too for doubles. Garth got his fish in fine then at the last minute the fish ran for a big bunch of wood on the bank and almost managed to break the line so I scooped his tail quick! Way to go Garth Fish On Buddy!

Jason’s 2nd steel of the day
WOW! Now that was Awesome! Weeks like these make me wish steelhead season would never close. With the temps rising, some precip and the melting of lowland snow the water is still a bit higher than average which has lent to upstream push of our fish. The water for that matter though is significantly faster, greener below the Twisp River but still very calm and clear above that. As well the dreaded salmon snot is plaguing anglers down river too.
I have spent most time from about the downtown Twisp area to Winthrop and everywhere in between. Fish are picking up stones again, the week started with a preference toward goldens and ended leaning heavily towards the peacock stone. Water is still pretty slow so I’m rigging about 1.25 times water depth to my indicator (trying to touch bottom every now and then).
Garth’s 1st ever steelhead
I wanted to give a shout out to Garth and his first steelhead he, Jason and I had an incredible couple of days. Garths first steel came in a doubles session between him and Jason and almost escaped in a bush at the last second. I have feel blessed this season for getting to meet so many great folks and to have had such a good time.
Jason’s 5th steel of the day
