| The
Methow |
Pretty
much ice free currently. Fishing has been good on the Methow; The
catching has been sporadic. It seems the best zone to be in for
numbers is in the first 7 miles of river.
If you are nymphing, 'get trouty'. When swinging, don't be afraid
to go through the run a couple times and use different sink rates
of line.

News
Release 10/15/09
Additional
section of the Methow River
to open for steelhead fishing Oct. 21
Action:
Open the Methow River from the second powerline crossing upstream
of Pateros to the first Highway 153 Bridge.
The
daily limit will be four adipose fin-clipped, hatchery steelhead,
20-inch minimum size.
Mandatory retention of adipose fin-clipped hatchery steelhead.
Selective gear rules apply, no bait allowed.
A night closure is in effect for the duration of the fishery.
Release any steelhead with one or more round holes punched in the
caudal (tail) fin.
Boats with motors are not allowed.
Location: The Methow River from the second powerline crossing upstream
of Pateros to the first Highway 153 Bridge.
Effective date: Oct. 21, 2009.
Species affected: Steelhead.
Other information: Anglers are required to release all steelhead
with an adipose fin. Any steelhead caught with an intact adipose
fin may not be removed from the water and must be released immediately.
Reason for action: Sufficient numbers of wild steelhead have moved
upriver from this section, allowing anglers additional opportunity
to harvest adipose fin-clipped steelhead with minimal impact to
wild fish. The fishery will reduce the number of excess hatchery-origin
steelhead and consequently increase the proportion of natural-origin
steelhead on the spawning grounds. Higher proportions of naturally
produced spawners are expected to improve genetic integrity and
stock recruitment of upper Columbia River steelhead through perpetuation
of steelhead stocks with the greatest natural-origin lineage.
