Owyhee Reservoir Fishing Report

Reservoir temperatures are 65°F in the lower reservoir and reach 71°F around Fisherman’s Cove and the Honeycombs. The crappie spawn is over and they have changed to post spawn behavior, suspending in deeper water and schooling in smaller groups. The persistent angler can locate them and catch enough for a meal.

Anglers targeting bass may catch some with yellow tags near the dorsal fin. ODFW is studying bass movement, condition and angler harvest of bass larger than 12 inches. The tags have a four-digit number and can be reported by phone or on MyODFW.com. Anglers releasing tagged bass should leave the tag in the fish. Bass fishing should be picking up as well.
