Methow River Trout
Methow River Trout Fly Fishing Guides
The Methow River is a world class steelhead river, but did you know that it is also an awesome trout river? “The Met” as we call it, has the largest trout of any float-able river in Washington State. I have seen bull trout over 20 pounds and Cutt-Bows in the seven pound range. The Methow is a very diverse river that brings all the regular insect life with an addition of large runs of salmon that provide huge amounts of food for the resident trout population.
With some of the state’s best hopper fishing and world class sized cutthroats, The Methow River is at the top of my list for adventure angling in Washington State. The Methow is free of any flood control dams; hence the area has a natural spring snow run-off and is dependent on that for angling timing. For best results, we begin fishing it at or around 2500 cfs. and this typically begins in July on an average year. However, don’t wait for the water – book your trip ahead of time and we can adapt at the time of your booking should we need to.
