While still a bit on the high side the Methow sure looks great and it\u2019s been fishing great as well. With Washington Pass closed life slows way down again in the Methow winters which can be nice after the hustle and bustle of the summer tourist season. Winter is the time for quite introspection on an all but deserted river where it\u2019s just you, the fish and the sights and sounds of animal life on and around the water.<\/p>\n

We have some snow on the ground right now and it seems whenever the temp hovers right in the mid-thirties during a snow storm the bite is on. Mid-winter hatches of Duns, Midges and Chironomids have started to come off bringing noses once again to the surface in the drift and back-eddies. Hot bugs as of late for me have been the single black Chironomid and the Peacock Stone with orange beads.<\/p>\n

Variety of catch as of late has been great with not only some steelhead and bruiser bulltrout to the net but also some very nice cutthroat as well making for a few \u201ctrifecta\u201d days! Winter is hard to beat on the Methow if you\u2019re lucky enough to be on the water on the right day.
\nWater is very apt to color up below Benson Cr. While water upstream has remained clear. Flows for now are back down around 900 and rain withstanding should continue to drop towards ideal of 500cfs. Temps both air and water have remained stable and ideal in the mid to upper thirties with no big changes in the near future.<\/p>\n
