The
Methow and its tributaries drain the east slope of North Cascades.
The river and the basin tributaries
are all freestone. During low water years the hot months
can be a bit tough due to water temps, but the fringe months are
certainly worthy.
Adjacent
basins to the West ( the Stehekin and Wenatchee river basin) are
the other major drainage for the East slope of the North Cascades.
All three of the aforementioned rivers and their tributaries
are freestone in nature and therefore the flows in these systems
are based strictly on snow pack and precipitation. There is
minimal dam influence on these watersheds. The Methow basin
originates in an alpine wilderness and terminates in the desert
like sage brush landscape where the river enters the Columbia river
Ample
wildlife is part of the landscape, where both Mule deer and Whitetail
deer are incredibly plentiful. The basin is one of the major
thoroughfares for the Mule deer herd migration during the Fall.
The black bear and cougar population is also quite strong.
The Methow river flows through Okanagon county which has a total
population of approximately 40,000.
The
river is home to Cutthroat, Rainbow, Steelhead, Bulltrout and
Whitefish.
The
Methow trout fishing can be great July - September. Steelhead
fishing in October and later is based on whether the State opens
the river for steelhead. This river is listed
as a closed river unless there is an "emergency opening".
We do however fish the Methow regularly for trout July-September
and would be happy to show you this beautiful watershed.

Steelhead Oct?-? Steelhead fishing on
the Methow is based on yearly statistics and therefore
is opened on a seasonal basis. It has been open the
past couple seasons and has been wonderful.
