Many Out on the Methow

On the Methow River a lot of the pressure is below Carlton, with water temps on the river around the mid to upper 40’s.

As far as what’s working, well it seems it’s an angler’s choice. For those of us swinging a fly, Hobo Speys in the blacks, bluesand reds seem to be working the best. The smaller Intruder style has been doing very well.

If you’re one inclined to nymph, the number one fly is the Double Bead Peacock stone. Trail off of that with a bead or a small size #14 Flash Back Pheasant tail nymph, Lightning Bug in pearl, blue, purple and even red. If I can recommend one thing, try something that you think no one else is using. This is where home tied flies come into play.

Hope to see you out there. Stop in to the shop in Omak and let us know how you did. The coffee is always on.
