The lower river is not as nasty as Tumwater Canyon, but still deserves your respect.

I'm looking forward to sampling not only the steelhead, but also the resident trout. The closure and then restrictions, on the Methow, did wonders for the resident fish. 10 years of closure on the Wenatchee, I'd guess, should produce some amazing fish. I'm also looking forward to less pressure on my home water. ;\)

Good luck, guys.
