Here we find ourselves enjoying yet another week of great late winter steelhead fishing on the Met. Weather has been as close to perfect as one could hope for with temps at night in the mid and low 20\u2019s and daytime highs in the mid to upper 40\u2019s it has felt warm in day while staying cold enough at night to keep the river on a slow and steady drop.<\/p>\n

Boat fishing has still been easier than dealing with higher flows from shore and most points are still not safe to wade across. Do not despair if you don\u2019t have a form of watercraft though as many fish are in the easy to reach calm inside seems. The major pulse of fish seems to be between Carlton and Methow.<\/p>\n

With water high as it has been I am having best luck with heavy rigs in slow water, much of the time in a depth of 6-8ft. Swinging heavy lines can produce fish, as of late most luck for my clients and I have been yielded from beads. To set up I use 0x 10ft to size 8 stone then drop 1x 16-18inches to which I attach orange or pink Hevi Bead and size 10 octopus hooks about two fingers width from egg bead.<\/p>\n

Look for fishing to continue to improve as flows drop, steelhead season on the Methow ends March 31st. Also there is a new closure point on the Methow at Heckendoran Park across from East 20 Pizza; closure is in place to aid National Fish and Wildlife in collection of additional brood for this year\u2019s steelhead program.<\/p>\n
