The "Met" boasts healthy numbers of summer-run steelhead and is our favorite river to swing a floating line with skaters, damp flies, or wets. If that doesn't produce, then we will switch it up and throw some nymphs. The alluring, gin clear water, scenic backdrop, large boulders, and aggressive population of wild and hatchery Steelhead make this a tough river to beat. We wade and float this river depending on water levels and strategy. Overnight accommodations in the Methow valley are utilized for this trip, and we encourage multi-day itineraries.
*NOTE: Steelhead seasons on the Methow are managed on an annual basis after returning adult steelhead runs are counted on the Columbia River. If there are plenty of fish, then the season will open on short notice. Typically the season run from early October through March.

"I caught my first steelhead on the Methow a few years ago and it was unforgettable, especially since it was followed by second, third, and fourth on the same day! Learning to fish steelhead on the Methow was great for me because it is a very manageable size and thanks to the guide and water clarity, I was actually able to read the holding lies pretty well by the end of the first day. It really sped up the learning process for me and now I am a full blown steelhead junkie!"
