Idaho Fish Report
Excellent Catfish Fishing on Owyhee
by OR Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff
10-9-2024
Website
Owyhee Reservoir is 59 percent full, with Gordon Gulch, Indian Creek and Leslie Gulch boat ramps all open and usable. There are some older, larger crappie in the 12-inch range but they are elusive.
Fishing for catfish is excellent right now. Channel catfish will be most concentrated in wide flats with relatively shallow water between 5 and 30 feet deep.
Trout fishing will improve as water temperatures cool this fall. Trolling or fishing streamer flies from the bank can be effective in the lower reservoir near the forebay.
Anglers targeting bass may catch some with tags near the dorsal fin. ODFW is studying bass movement, condition and angler harvest of bass. The tags have a four-digit number and can be reported by phone or on MyODFW.com.
