Owyhee River fishing report

The Owyhee is running low and clear in early September, holding steady around 116 cfs. Cold water and excellent clarity make this an ideal setup for sight-fishing, especially in afternoon riffles where larger fish feed actively. Midges dominate the morning and early afternoon in sizes 20-22, then BWOs take over around 2 p.m. and continue through the later afternoon. Both nymphing and dry-fly presentations work well when fish are keyed on the hatch.
