Last Run on the Methow

Every year when we visit Mazama I try to get out and fish this run which is one of my favorite on the Methow River and one of the last runs available to fish on the river before the river closes upstream of the bridge crossing on Hwy 20 just west of Goat Creek Road.  I’ve caught my best cutthroat in this run, I thought it was a steelhead the way it grabbed the fly and took off on a run.   Turned out to be a 20+” cutthroat when I got it to the net, that was a  few years back and I probably would not have landed that fish this year on tenkara in the river.

Back to acrylic today.  With less than two weeks to go until the drop-off I think I’m sticking to that medium for the rest of the challenge.
