Following the CFF Fish-A-Lone on the Crooked River (Sat 23rd) a group of us are going to continue over to the Owyhee River. The Owyhee is at winter flows (40 cfs) so we’ll be wading, fishing the tailwater below the Owyhee dam. The river is very fertile, with good insect hatches, winding through a beautiful, rugged canyon, It produces trophy sized Brown trout with Rainbows also on the list.
- Equipment
- 4 to 6wt rods, matching reel & floating fly line.
- 9 ft leaders 3 to 5x
- waders, wading staff & landing net.
- layered clothing, rain gear, polarized glasses.
- Flies, BWO’s, midges, streamers & Skawala Stoneflies (really important)
The Plan is to catch a Motel in Ontario & fish the river for a couple of days. If you like there is plenty of camping along the river. If you can make it it’s a great time to fish this quality river.
