Steelhead Scandi

Hot off the presses, we just received some of the new Rio Steelhead Scandi lines. This is billed as the be all end all summer, floating line. It's based on the specs of John Hazel's ACE Vision line that everyone loves so much but no cutting and splicing. Instead just add water. Come and get it. -BW

Wenatchee

As of Monday the 13th the Wenatchee is still slow. Johnny and I floated Cashmere to the mouth, swinging floating lines and tips and a little nymphing and neglected to hook any fish. Well, that's not true, Johnny roped a squaw and I landed a couple small rainbows but... It's still early though in the scheme of things and traditionally the Wenatchee doesn't pick up until the end of the month. But you know what I'll take 80 degrees and sunny, floating down a river any day! -BW

Steel-trout

The Methow and Wenatchee opened yesterday. Yes, for steelhead fishing. This is not a guaranteed season every year so take advantage of it while you can. Go angle. We have the flies, leaders and the rest of it to give you the excuse to go. Do it! - BW
