 Some friends and I fished it Fri - Sun.. We hooked up on more kings than anything else. Out of the 2 1/2 days of fishing we only landed 3 steelhead. This weekend Im not wasting my time, were heading over to the Wenatchee. A few of my buddies fished it last weekend an limited out both days!

I can tell you that the Wenatchee is very similar to the methow in regards to hooking chinook. Good luck and let us know how you do.

I had heard just last night that when the numbers are reached they are talking about opening it up to a 6 fish limit. Anybody know if there is any truth to that?

I'll make a couple calls and find out.  If so I might need to make a trip over the hump this year.

Really??!

Can you keep any Chinook salmon on the methow? I have never fished it in October. We normally fish it in Feb. and march. We do really well then.

Was there daylight till 5 last night, nada for me and my buddy.  We threw flies all day, and I also pitched some jigs for bout an hour.  Did see some old kings hanging out.

We need a weather change for things to pick up.  If the temp drops the fish should start pushing upstream.  It was in the mid to high 70's yesterday.

Jeepster, The Chewuch is closed. Methow is open from the confluence with the Chewuch(Winthrop) downstream to the Columbia.
