If you’re headed to the Owyhee make sure and bring Tricos, they are working in mornings until the sun hits the water (around 10:30an to 11am). Big terrestrials are also working (beetles, hoppers, & ants), make sure and target the cut banks & fast ripple runs. Throughout the day, Callibaetis...

Dry fly fishing has been consistent. Have a good selection of Caddis, PMD, BWO, and Callibaetis. Streamer fishing can be a great way to get some of the bigger browns to eat, dont forget as a good rule of thumb Dark day dark fly, light day light fly. whites and yellows are a good place to start when...

Problem is that the river is pretty choked up with ice. Most of the deeper water is froze over and the...

I love winter. Not because I particularly like the cold. Because the vast majority of the people who fly fish don't like the cold. Or a least don't like to fish in it. Which takes me to the reason I love winter. The river is all yours, for the most part. I spent a day on the river a few days back...
