Brown Trout
While Pateros, Washington, isn't widely known as a brown trout destination, the Methow River, which converges with the Columbia here, holds a population of these fish. The browns in this area aren't generally huge, but they can be quite challenging and rewarding to target. The best time to fish for them is typically in the spring (April-May) and fall (October-November), when water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Focus your efforts on the deeper pools and runs, especially those with good cover like overhanging banks or submerged logs. A local secret is to try fishing during or after a light rain, as this can often trigger increased feeding activity. Be aware that the Methow can experience significant fluctuations in water flow, so check conditions before you go and adjust your tactics accordingly. Nymphing and streamer fishing are effective techniques for these browns.
