Owyhee Reservoir is 86% full, all boat ramps are open with the exception of the county ramp near the dam. Bass fishing has been fair this spring. We expect bass fishing to improve as brood year 2023 bass continue to grow.
There is a strong year class of smaller crappie in the 5-6 inch range this year but there are a few larger crappie throughout the reservoir.
Channel catfish are abundant in the reservoir, the best places to target catfish are relatively shallow flats throughout the reservoir.
