Chicamun
Springs Ranch
Guided Bird Hunting excursions
At the heart of the picture-perfect
valley rests Chicamun Springs Ranch. The springs that give the ranch its
name lured the first homesteaders there. As they have since before the
turn of the century, those same springs provide water to nourish fields
of grain. The grain, in turn, sustains thriving populations of pheasants,
chukar and quail.

to Fish around Twisp & Carlton |
Methow
River
Long noted for its steelhead fishery,
the National Marine Fisheries Service in 1998 designated steelhead runs
in the upper Columbia River Basin in danger of extinction, which precludes
any scheduled steelhead season. Catch-and-release trout fishing is available
in portions of the river during a June 1 through September 30 season, with
selective gear rules in effect. Check the regulations pamphlet for boundary
restrictions, which change (to expand the open area) effective May 1, 2006.
Dolly Varden/bull trout fishing is prohibited to help improve numbers of
these native char. Some whitefish action is available December 1 through
March 31, as well as steelhead if the run forecast exceeds natural production
and hatchery broodstock requirements. The steelhead fishery opens by emergency
regulation, so check the agency website or with the Ephrata WDFW office
in the fall. Disabled accessibility - Level 2; DP, WCT, Blk Tpa, level
area. Camping is available but steep river banks are not very accessible
to wheelchair users. There are several WDFW access sites along the river
with toilets. |
Pearrygin
Lake
(212 acres) One mile northeast of
Winthrop on the Methow Wildlife Area. Last Saturday in April through September
30 open season. Expect good fishing for 10- to 11-inch rainbow trout, plus
carry-overs to 15 inches. State park facilities and a public access with
launch and toilets are available. Disabled accessibility - Level 2 at the
state park, with accessible camping sites and an accessible fishing pier.
