Water temps are still high. It will kick on real soon when the temps drop.

 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?
Just one more day

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

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.

what about the chewuch? thinking about going deer hunting over there in a few weeks....might as well get some flies in the water while im at it, i just got a new 8wt rod today... i gotta try steelheading... never done it before....
catch it. kill it. cook it. eat it.
Forget the bear spray, use wasp killer. Concentrated delivery stream, 10X the product, and only $3.00 on sale.

I smoke two fish in the morning, I smoke two fish at night, I smoke two fish in de afternoon makes me feel alright

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. 
Will hunt for food.
