Steve's Methow Cuttbow


I just got back from fishing the Methow for a week. I fished from Winthrop to floats down below the town of Methow. I personally enjoy the water lower. Lots of great pools. Fish were mostly looking for dry flies but we would catch a few on nymphs especially before noon. Some of the tribs are fishing pretty good but close on the 15th. We were able to catch rainbows, cutts and about every other day we were lucky enough to catch a cuttbow. They are the cherry on top. Beautiful, killer fighters with the chance to go up to and over 26". Pops has caught the biggest one I have seen at 28". When they get on the bigger side they are a lot to handle on 4x tippet.
The fires in areas where devastating, our hearts go our to those who lost there homes.

Sea run cutts are starting to show up now in our lower local rivers. I have 1 spot open for our sea run cutthroat school on Aug. 30th on the Stillaguamish river. If interested let me know.

I will also be headed back to the Methow and I have a few dates open on the 24th or 27th-28th of Aug.

I will be over on the Grande Ronde starting in early October doing our 3 day cabins and campouts. I have some availability before the 8th and after the 12th.

On the horizon we have some casting, river float and lakes fishing classes.
