The Owyhee
Never Fails!

The Owyhee River, our home river, always produces top quality fishing.  Not uncommon to catch doubles or even triples, the OwyheeJust a sample of the Owyhee fishing!continually amazes even us.  With the cost of International travel skyrocketing, the Owyhee is a great alternative. Touted by many anglers as a Trophy Brown Trout fishery, the "O' is considered to be one of the Blue Ribbon Waters of the West. 

 

The Owyhee usually fishes well from April to September, however last year due to high water (snow pack) we didn't begin to fish until July.  While the reservoir is at 74% of capacity as of this newsletter, we do expect another delayed start to fishing in 2012.  Be sure to get your dates scheduled, as we fill up fast of this river.

Dear Rhonda,
It's that time of year again, where the fishing has gone from fast and furious to slow and cold.  The year wrapped up with some great fishing on the Grande Ronde, spectacular days on the Owyhee and a lot more in between.  We hope you enjoy a recap on our fishing season and more exciting things in the coming year with the addition of our Upland Game Bird hunting facility.

Grande Ronde Steelhead Trips

Dave's Purple Rat has been an awesome bling filled fly for swinging on the Ronde.  If you are interested in learning how to tie this fly, just like us on Like us on Facebook and we'll send you the recipe. 

Steelhead fishing on the Grande Ronde was excellent in terms of the numbers of fish, the dry fly fishing was exceptionally good due to the warmer temperatures that maintained throughout most of the month.  The larger fish tend to show up in February and push through the river system until the water levels blow out in March, be sure to check out the special below.
