My reports on the Methow River will be related only to Steelhead fishing. The first fish arrive by early August each year but the river is small and low and there is better fall steelheading in other area rivers. By the time some late November rain or melting snows raise the river sometime in late fall / early winter, now the Methow becomes a good option for many miles up the valley. This prime period lasts ...

well into spring and certainly through the end of March.
