\"Methow<\/a>

Methow Debris<\/p><\/div>\n

First my home burned (as well as many other families), then what was left was washed away by floods, and then those floods destroyed private fisheries I had been developing for more than a decade. As if that wasn\u2019t enough the floods continued pelting hillsides and canyons destabilized by fire, resulting flash flooding wiped out houses pushing debris and sediment into the lower three quarters of the Methow killing large numbers of fish and aquatic life of all types.<\/p>\n

\"Death\"<\/a>

Death<\/p><\/div>\n

The resulting damage to the Methow river is mostly a natural \u201conce in a lifetime\u201d event, however the impacts will be felt for years to come. While natural disaster can be an overwhelming nightmare we have to keep our chins up and do what we can for each other and the Valley\/River we love. Which is why Methow Fishing Adventures is teaming up with the Globetrouters as well as other local river and fishing guides to remove as much man made debris from the river as possible before spring run-off makes the situation worse.<\/p>\n

\"Brandon<\/a>

Brandon with Nothing<\/p><\/div>\n

Consider this a challenge not unlike the \u201cice-bucket\u201d challenge, only this has a good reason behind it. The following pictures are from a trip with I did with my friends Brandon and Grahm of the Globetrouters in the middle section of the Methow. We will be working through-out the fall and winter, if you are interested in helping just drop us a line.<\/p>\n

\"Catch<\/a>

Catch of the Day<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Signs<\/a>

Signs of Life<\/p><\/div>\n

Pictures are intended to act as a visual reminder of what you might expect to catch on this stretch of the Methow if we don\u2019t get out there and do what we can. If you can\u2019t make it to the Methow then let this encourage you to pick up your local waters, trails, whatever. If not us then who?<\/p>\n

Not a bad load o crap<\/p><\/div>\n
