Bass fishing has been fair in the Powder River arm. However, crappie fishing has been poor. Summer can be a good time of year to fish Brownlee Reservoir for a variety of warmwater fish, and fishing for catfish can be good throughout the summer months.

Try fishing shallow areas (about 3 feet deep) for catfish with bait suspended under a bobber. This can be an especially good way to catch catfish on Brownlee Reservoir when using Mormon crickets for bait
