23 Days Left to get the best fishing of the year!

So we only have 23 days left in this GREAT steelhead season  and fishing is as good as it has been all year! All year we have battled with fluctuating river levels and crazy weather but here at the end all is calming down and fishing is very good. We have been fishing mostly the Wenatchee River and have been doing very good n the upper river but there is also lots of fish in the lower river and not as much pressure so we have been splitting up our floats and alternating the days on which stretch of river to fish. We have had some great days with an over 20 fish last weekend! We have also been fishing the Methow River where there is great fishing also the river is in great shape and the fishing is good  I have been fishing it at least a day or 2 a week and having great success. We are fishing with the same jigs as earlier marribou and areo jigs in blacks and pinks. The fish at this time of year are mainly smokers  but great fighters with it being a great time to get your eggs for salmon season, only a couple months till springers on the Icicle!  We are booking trips with days open till the end of the season and also booking trips for springers on the Icicle openning May 15 and also Sockeye and Summer run kings for the Columbia that will open July 1. We have great fishing in the sunshine go out and get some!
