RECORDED: 90 ° FISHING: Fair
Owyhee River
Fair
With the dog days of summer the fishing has really slowed and is becoming more technical. I fished it on Saturday and it was slow. There are a lot of midges, small gray Baetis, a few Calibaetis, and a few PMD's. Try fishing nymphs during the day and watch for the hatch around eight or nine o'clock. Be ready to fish small flies. Water conditions are good and the flows are steady at about 200 cfs. It may be crowded so rememeber stream etiquitte. Also watch for ticks.
Flies: Beadhead Pheasant Tail, 16-20, Prince Nymphs, 14-20, Copper Johns, 14-18, PMD Emergers, 16-18, Calibaetis Emergers, 14-18, Baetis Hatchmatcher, 20, PMD Comparadun, 16-18, Parachute Calibaetis, 14-18, Olive Midges, 18-20, Black Midges, 18-20, Baetis Emergers, 18-20, Olive Emergers, 18-20.
