PICS FROM TODAY! Went to the methow river. steel head
« on: January 17, 2010, 11:07:05 AM »
We are planning on heading over there on the 23rd. A few friends went there yesterday and brought home 4 steel head. They caught 9 total for the day. 4 keepers and 5 wild. Just wondering if any one else has been there?

 I have yet to see pics of any fish from that river. Salmon or steelhead. If you get over please post some pics.

Do they allow bait on that river?

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook twice?

No bait, single barbless hooks, artificial lures, the ice is gone so it should be picking up on the lower end ;)

I heard it isn't to bad, just have watch out that you don't snag a wolf thats floatin by. ;), You should know the rules, know picking up anything on the endangered joke list. :)

For a lure maybe a guy would just use a Royal Wolf? :rockin: :IBCOOL:

and 10-4 about the rivers with endagered critters and no bait. Should figured that out myself.

I don't know why. It's always been on my list of river to fish someday.

They have been going from the mouth up. That is where they have been catching them the last few days.
