I'll second Boulder Creek, I've had some great mornings fishing it and have landed a few cutts that go over a foot long along with lots of brookies. You can also hit the Chewich right there, Boulder actually flows into it and not the Methow. The Twisp is an OK little river also, I've fished it right near the end of the C&R water the last time I was camping in the area. The Methow itself can be pretty fun in the summer and produces a few nice sized fish. It is pretty easy to hit all three main rivers and a few side-creeks in a weekend trip centered in Winthrop.

There's a little creek called Boulder Creek that's a trib of a trib of the Methow that's just a hoot for small brookies, cutts and bows. It's one of those plunge pool after pocket after plunge pool kinda creeks that you can throw an elkhair caddis on all day and find fish everywhere that looks fishy.

Sometime in early August, I am planning to make a trip with one of my graduate school professors (he's from Minnesota) to fish either in the Central Cascade or North Cascade Mountains. He is really interested in some mountain/wilderness stream/creek fishing and the size of the trout are not an issue to him (so long as they are wild trout). I have a guidebook on the Central Cascades and limited experience in the North Cascades, but I am interested to hear some opinions about the stream fishing in either of these places and which one might be the better option. Any suggestions as to creeks and/or rivers in those areas would be appreciated as well. Lakes are also an option, but he would prefer to fish streams if at all possible. In doing a little investigating, I have come up with the following streams in the Central Cascades: Upper and Lower Waptus River, Cooper River, Taylor River, Upper Ingalls Creek, Kachess River, Cabin Creek, the North and Middle Forks of the Snolqualmie, and the Middle Fork of the Teanaway River. In the North Cascades, I am considering fishing some of the tributaries of Ross Lake: Big Beaver Creek, Little Beaver Creek, Lightening Creek. Any comments on any of these streams would be most appreciated. Thanks for your help in advance. Dave _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
