Bamboo in the Methow

[Dave Westburg]

Visited Twisp for a few days. After a slow morning on the Methow River we went into the foothills to avoid the heat and the innertube hatch. The creek was cool but not so much that wet wading was uncomfortable. I fished a granger 8040 Victory, Cortland Sylk 4 weight double taper on an old Farlows Grenaby reel, 3' furled leader and 3' of 5X tippet.



Pocket water fishing for brookies and cutts. Size 14 Royal Wulffs, Letort Hoppers, hares ear nymphs, hard bodied ant wet flies - everything worked.





I took 5 fish from this little pool on a hares ear nymph. This stream has 10 miles of water like this...



A stop for baguette sandwiches and coffee at Anjou in Cashmere on the way home. Life is good. Get out now before the fires start.

I had forgotten that there were brookies in the head waters.
Sweet pics thanks

Nice outing, one of my favorite areas to be. I floated the Methow Monday. So many creeks and high lakes in the valley as well, hard to choose where to fish!

Had to make a handful of work trips to Wenatchee several years ago. Almost always made time to stop at Anjou on the way in or out.
