The Owyhee River is currently flowing at about 32 cfs below the dam. Brown trout are now spawning throughout the Lower Owyhee River. Anglers should avoid wading in gravely areas to protect buried eggs.

Some good fishing can still be found away from spawning brown trout. Try fishing some of the deeper, slower water with streamers for pre- or post-spawn browns or egg patterns for larger rainbows.

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.
