One more day and I head for waters up north in Okanagan Co. We are finding good to great fishing on the Klickitat and will be back in November to finish out the season. I had a blast hanging out with friends that I rarely see and some new ones I hope to see for many seasons. The return to the Klickitat was easy as the river has not changed much and the people are wonderfully friendly. The river etiquette has changed a lot since just a few years ago, everyone is giving up water for other anglers and fishing respectfully. The non boat fishing scare has brought out the respect for other anglers that should have been present before.
Moving on to the Methow and hoping we get just enough rain to float it otherwise we will be bank fishing. Not that it will be a problem but covering a few miles on foot is much different than 10 in the boat for most anglers and especially clients. We have some great walk in water that will secure a good position for swing fishing on hard to reach water. that will be enough to get us through the drought time and get into good fishing on foot. I look forward to swinging some dries and actually catching a good number of steelhead instead of hoping for one..
Going to miss the Klick but we will be back late November 2012!
