Methow River B&B
These accommodations are exclusively available to the clients of Brazda’s Fly Fishing, a B&B with a view of the Methow on Burma Rd not two minutes from where I stay in my RV. It will be very convenient and cost effective for any of you to stay here. I can simply pick you up in the morning and go have a wonderful day on the Methow River or Wenatchee River chasing the wily steelhead and then bring you back in the evening. Lodging and guided fishing will be 310$ per person based on double occupancy this includes the state sales tax. Take a look at the home and its location, what could better?
The B and B will accommodate up to 6 anglers and there gear, couples are very much welcome, single anglers are slightly different priced.
Your wonderful host will be Phil and Tiloura Lund and of coarse you can expect me and or one of the guides to hang out at the BBQ on party nights. Phil is an accomplished Spey angler and is picking up his fishing guide career after thirty years of operating a home building construction company. Phil guided fishermen on the OP for ten years in the 1970’s and is looking forward to stepping back in time and enjoying that passion once again. He is available for Spey casting lessons right from the house.

40 inch chromer
March 8 2010
Every year we are looking for that perfect fish, this year we have been settling for the 10 pound chromers with a few teeners and the odd giant. Then we catch this brute and start hooking them daily without much landing success. The planets do align at times….
If you want yours, get in touch and we can get you fishing ,,dates available next week.
Brazda’s fly fishing bringing you the best of private Basin Lakes:
Issak’s Ranch Lakes
Premier private lake fishing in eastern Washington
Fly fish for rainbow and brown trout in the 22 to 30 plus inch range. With spring run off on our trout streams the lake fishing is at its best April thru June.
We can accommodate up to ten anglers on the lakes, you will have both the upper and lower lake to choose from during your fishing. That’s over 100 acres of private water. The upper lake is best for sinking lines and buggers where the lower lake being the shallower of the two, fishes well with an intermediate line or dry line. Bugger fishing starts off in April followed by Chironomids late April early May and then Damsels and Calabatis in mid May into June. With good conditions experienced lake anglers could expect to hook an excess of 30 fish in a day. Some gear can be furnished with prior request. Lodging is available at Banks Lake.
Available dates; Sunday May 16
Daily rod fee’s: 225 per angler plus tax.

I love to strip a bugger on a sinking line or better yet an I line, it is the closest thing to the bite of a steelhead on the swing, which just so happens to be what I live for. It is a great way to fill the gaps in fishing seasons, April/May fly fishing in Washington state can constitute some really good lakes with impressive trout and scenery. Impressive trout being found easily at Issacks Ranch during April and May.
Upper lake at Issacks
Lower lake at Issacks
Now wile in Montana we are surrounded by historic trout streams and rivers and the lakes are nearly untouched, well, until the word gets out. Last week Mark and I went up to Clark Canyon Lake expecting to see the thirty boats that have been there on past trips. Not a soul around, four boats to a thousand acre lake, I instantly think “ah shat bad idea”. Well we hit it very good on all prospects, no boats, good weather and best of all great fishing on the stripped bugger. This lake is unlike many of the lakes in Washington instead of shoals with mud flats in between, we fish a creek channel entering the river (the red rock river). It will run from 2-3 ft with grass into a five to twenty foot wide channel that will be 7-15 ft deep and has the bottom contour of the origional creek, deep on the outside bends and all that. Good positioning of the boat and an angler can cast up and down the channel. The neastest thing is how the fish will ball up in a particular location within that channel, when thebite is on there is no mistaking where that spot is as fivbe casts in a row will produce good hookups.
Mark on Clark Canyon Lake one of many from the inside channle.
First fish of the day, olive bugger on an I line. Note the wild fish dorsal fin, we get a good number of these I think they are from the Red Rock river.
We finished up without five minutes of down time just before the terrential downpour, heck of a good day.
Next season I will be on Issacks in eastern Washington for three trips April and May dates, come on over with me and get your game on after the steelhead season and during the run off for some lake fishing for trout!
