The Chewuch for a small stream can surprise any fisherman with everything from bulltrout to spring Chinook, cutthroat and redband the Chewuch has all the same fish packed into its small banks as its bigger neighbor the Methow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Giant-Chewuch-Cuttbow.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1386\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/2014\/04\/20\/fishing-the-chewuch\/giant-chewuch-cuttbow\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Giant-Chewuch-Cuttbow.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"840,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Giant Chewuch Cuttbow\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Giant Chewuch Cuttbow&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Giant-Chewuch-Cuttbow.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1386\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Giant-Chewuch-Cuttbow-262x300.jpg\" alt=\"Giant Chewuch Cuttbow\" width=\"262\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Giant-Chewuch-Cuttbow-262x300.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Giant-Chewuch-Cuttbow-624x713.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Giant-Chewuch-Cuttbow.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is one thing I look for on the Chewuch though and its dry fly fishing, from a size 14drake to a size 6 hoppers there are fish ready to rise to the occasion.
