I know there a few options, but do have to check the regs for the Wenatchee and the Methow.

Going over with a buddy but thought i would check and see what the group knows.

PM fine if you don't want to share publicly..

It won't be a hard core trip, just an excuse to get out. Give myself and my buddy a break.

Any suggestions? Restaurants to recommend.. I've fished the Wenatchee a few times and will check if the white fish season is even open.

I've never fished the Methow.. but will do some more research!

TIA
 
Wenatchee hasn’t opened in years. In laws live in Leavenworth and I’m there often, I just drive to the Yakima if I have to fish. However, the Entiat and Methow have a whitefish season that begins December 1st that have been open last few years.
 
I was over in Mazama with my wife last weekend, a week ago. As you know, beautiful and quiet this time of year as the tourists seem to be waiting on snow.
The shop owner mentioned no steelhead season this year. I think some lowland lakes are open through November now, but that does you no good.

In Leavenworth, the Icicle might be open for steelhead.?
 
Yeah I checked the regs and answered some of my questions but appreciate the info. I couldn't find if there was a "whitefish" season or not. This will be a chill trip!

We may stay at Reds Logde one of the evenings, December prices are lower and there's a deal with $100 food card at there restaurant, which is nice.

Or just do a VBRO in the Mazama area. We could always buzz down to the Yakima if the westhers decent. Either way, it will be nice to get out of town for me and get a break from helping mom out!
 
Fishing for whitefish in the Wenatchee in December used to be good, but I don't know if it ever opens in recent years. About the only fishing season on the Wenatchee any more that I'm aware of is the September opening for Chinook, but then it closes in October to protect ESA steelhead. October was always my favorite month to fish there.
 
I've fished the Sky and Skagit / Sauk in some pretty cold temps.. water temps were higher than the temps.. now i would just fish.. and hopefully go somewhere tropical in the next few years.
