Upper Columbia Steelhead
« on: November 03, 2009, 03:20:20 AM »
Has anyone been fishing the upper columbia above Wells Damn for steelhead? (Patteros area).  How is the water, the numbers coming over the damn seem to be down right now.  Just wondering if its worth the gas, the Okanogan is a bit milky with high water so I would rather fish the columbia if the water is better. 
Will hunt for food.

Co-worker said the lower Methow was great Sunday.  Hooked eight in a couple hours.  "Miller Hole"
