Lower Owyhee River in SE Oregon,

Fishmaster - Rich Miller (rich@ski.org)


This is a famous tailwater fishery, home to large rainbows and browns that rise regularly each summer afternoon to PMD's. This part of the river flows through a beautiful canyon cut into high desert country.  The weather will be warm, but the river cold.  There are formal campgrounds on the Owyhee Reservoir and just below the dam, but I prefer pickup camping along the tailwater.


The drive from Berkeley is 640 miles via Winnemucca (I-80 to I-95), with Google Maps estimating 10 hours driving.  That is a lot less than I've ever taken.
 

Oregon fishing licenses are easy to get online. A 3-day license is $60. You can get a non-resident annual license for  $110.

 

Motel accommodations available downriver in some of the nearby towns, perhaps half and hour away.
 

Here is the Fishout Sheet.
