For the most part however Chironomids have been the hot bug as of late though. I prefer to use chironomids in tandem with a two headed heavier bug on top and a lighter single head dropper. Colors that work best for me are black or red body with white heads, lately black has been best.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_1264.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1929\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/2014\/11\/24\/weekly-methow-fishing-report\/img_1264\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_1264.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,289\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_1264\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Methow Steel &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_1264.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1929\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_1264-300x108.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1264\" width=\"300\" height=\"108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_1264-300x108.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_1264-624x225.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.flyfishersproshop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_1264.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nMethow Fishing Adventures will be open for business through-out the winter so if you are interested in winter Steelhead on the Methow just drop us a line on the Contact page.
