Located in Oregon, just 50 miles from Boise, Idaho, the Owyhee river draws anglers from all corners of the world. This premier brown trout fishery provides the angler with the opportunity to fish dry flies, streamers and nymphs to some very large fish. The vast smorgasbord of insects provide the food source for the abundant fish population. Not only are there great numbers of fish, but also great numbers of large fish. The average size of the brown trout are 17-21 inches with a few monsters at 2 feet plus. Guiding on the Owyhee river is limited to walk and wade, as the river is a small tailwater fishery with good access. Wet wading is not realistic as the water coming out of the dam is very cold. The Owyhee fishes year round, weather permitting, and the river is located in a high desert canyon, so in the coldest months it may ice up. The best fishing is found during the spring and summer, traditionally June, July and September have been our most productive months.
