Stehekin River

Post by rustyski » Fri Feb 21, 2014 12:48 pm

Hey there!

I am planning a trip up the Stehekin River in mid July, and was wondering if anyone here had any experience on it, i.e. what patterns work well, what is hatching at that time, etc.

Probably not going to get much info on the fishing. Most of the folks at that end of the lake keep the river pretty close to the vest. If you're going to stay up there, I'd suggest asking locally. I know the river holds Cutts and Bows. I was going to stay up there for a week a couple years ago, one thing lead to another and I wasn't able to go but, I ran into the same thing. All they would say is, "We can talk about when you're up here.".

Nice Vid! Reminds me of Bob Marshal, MT, back packing 35 years ago.
