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.

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.
