The Methow River Fly Shop is just that....a fly shop located inside the Carlton General Store, in the rural town of Carlton, on the eastern slopes of the North Cascades in Washington State.   Carlton is located on Highway 153, part of the Washington State Cascade Loop Drive, and situated along the Methow River.   

Simply referred to as The Fly Shop, we carry some of the most recognized names in fly fishing such as:

• The Montana Fly Company flies.  Hundreds of patterns!!! Montana Fly Company hooks....all types and sizes for tying
• Solitude flies -exclusively selected for the Methow River steelhead.
• Spirit River Flies - patterns only steelhead fishers will love!
• TFO fly rods

Coming in the near future: Lamson Reels + Buelah Rods

The Methow River and its many tributaries drain the east slope of North Cascades. Additional basins to the West

(the Stehekin and Wenatchee river basin) are the other major drainage for the East slope of the North Cascades of which the Methow drains into the mighty Columbia River, which finds its way to the Pacific Ocean. Eventually, the Methow River dumps into the mighty Columbia River, home of many fish species especially the salmon family.  And there is some amazing fishing just 30-45 minutes from Carlton in the Columbia River.

But back to the Methow River.  The tributaries that feed the Methow bring another fishing opportunity.  Creek fishing.

Though typically smaller fish in size, the local creeks provide expanded season, good fishing and a different challenge for the angler seeking a different adventure.

Call us for park reservations, river conditions, shuttles, fly or gear recommendations, directions, or whatever!
