Fishing on the lower Owyhee River should still be good. There may be some larger October caddis around this year, but anglers have reported fewer hatches then normal this summer. Terrestrial flies and streamers should be productive right now as well as small nymphs.The reservoir spilled for an extended period this spring and flows are currently around 240 cfs.

The best fishing will be in the upper six miles of the Lower Owyhee below the dam. Crankbaits, spoons and spinners can also be productive.

Brown trout have started to spawn so avoid wading in disturbed gravel to protect buried eggs.
