The Methow does not open up until June 1 and even then a lot of it stays closed. It was one of the rivers that was hit pretty hard by the ESA listing. The seasons on it are pretty short and restrictive, so as to protect the remaining steelhead in it. If you want to fish for something, there is good fishing in a lot of the lakes around there, and if your up for some good splashy fun, the Black Canyon should be at about peak whitewater levels. Have fun!
