FISHING: Good
Owyhee River
Good
The river has been fishing well still and should continue to improve with cooling temperatures. There has been a smorgasborg of bugs and it has made it slkightly difficult to match the hatch but the best advice I can give you is to carry several stages of several bugs and be preapared to fish all those stages. The most prominent bugs have been PMD's, Callibaetis, Baetis, and a few caddis. Also be on the lookout for a Mahogany hatch because they should start hatching soon. The water, to my surprise, is really clearing up and seeing fish is not at all uncommon. Nymphing in the morning an into the early afternoon is your best bet. Teh hatch has been starting at about 2:30 and last for one to two hours then just quits until right at dark. Temperatures outside is hot but the water temperature is staying quite cool. Remeber move up and down the river to find the hatches.
Flies: Beadhead Pheasant Tail, 16-20, Prince Nymphs, 14-20, Copper Johns, 14-18, PMD Emergers, 16-18, Calibaetis Emergers, 14-18, Baetis Hatchmatcher, 20, PMD Comparadun, 16-18, Olive Midges, 18-20, Black Midges, 18-20, Baetis Emergers, 18-20, Olive Emergers, 18-20, Parachute Callibaetis, 14-20
