OWYHEE RIVER (Lower): brown trout, hatchery rainbow trout
Flows from the dam are around 156 cfs. Anglers can check flows here.
There are various insect hatches going on right now including caddis, baetis, and PMD mayflies. ODFW is using a tagging study to evaluate trout distribution and movement in the Owyhee tailwater this year. If you catch a tagged fish please report it here.
Tags can be left in the fish, just record the four or five-digit number and report the river reach where you caught the fish. Last Updated 5/6/2026
