FISHING: Good
Owyhee River
Good
Fishing has been good on the Owyhee as usual. The fish are becoming a little more picyk and selective due to pressure but fishing will begin to improve into the cooler months. The Mahogany's should go any day and there are still numerous other bugs that are hatching and that the fish are keying on. Those include Baetis in both gray and tan, Tricos (not psuedos), midges in black and gray, caddis, and some BWO's, along with a few Callibaetis. Also there are still a lot of ants along the banks so you might give a terrestrial a try. Also be ready for the crane fly hatch. Try skating a big stimulator for some good action on the surface and be sure to carry some crane fly nymphs with you to fish under an indicator with a pheasant tail or midge larva. Streamers like crawdads and sculpins can be an effective way to catch fish too. Water calrity is not bad and temperatures in the water are remaining right around the usual 42 degrees. Lets all remeber to be very careful in the upcoming month of October because these big browns are going to be up spawning by about the 15th. If we can stay off the gravel bars and leave the fish on redds alone the resource will be ready for another year. One month of NOT fishing here won't hurt any of us, so lets try to give these great fish a break.
Flies: Beadhead Pheasant Tail, 16-20, Prince Nymphs, 16-20, Copper Johns, 16-18, PMD Emergers, 16-18, Callibaetis Emergers, 16-18, 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, 16-20, Mahogany Comparadun, 16-18, Crane Fly Skater, 8-10, Crane Fly Nymph, 8-10.
