Wenatchee River Steelhead
Trips
The
Wenatchee River has long been regarded as one of the best fly fishing steelhead
streams in Washington State, but was closed for more than a decade. Now it is better than ever!
It is open from Leavenworth down to
the confluence of the Columbia River in Wenatchee. We like to refer to this
trip as "steelhead fishing in the Alps" due to the amazing mountainous backdrops
and the Bavarian feel of the Leavenworth area. The only thing better than
steelhead fishing, is steelhead fishing followed by some great German food and a
stout ale in Leavenworth!
The
river itself runs very clear and offers great opportunities to swing for
steelhead on spey rods. It is a broad stream and all of our guided adventures
are float style trips in drift boats or rafts. It is a very unique opportunity
to fly fish the Wenatchee River and hopefully in years to come it will remain
open for us all to enjoy. Typically, the opening occurs about October 1st. If there are plenty of fish, then the season will open on
short notice. Typically the season runs through
March. If in the event the river does not open as early as your date is booked, we can reschedule for a later date or refund your deposit if necessary.
A Washington Freshwater Fishing License with Catch Record Card
is required for this trip, and a Columbia River Steelhead Endorsement.

Testimonial
"We are all
very enthusiastic about the reopening of the Wenatchee River, it is a fantastic
fly fishing stream and having a steelhead river within an easy commute of our
fly shop is priceless. Although it is a new river to most of us after being
closed for so long, we have found success quickly. It is truly a remarkable river, and is now a
staple of our guided offerings ."
