: OWYHEE RIVER: Flows below the dam have been shutoff for the winter. Fishing for rainbow and brown trout is fair to good. Brown trout have started to spawn. Anglers need to be careful around redds as there are eggs in the gravel. Discharge at the Rome gauge dropped to 157 cfs on Nov. 85. Fishing for smallmouth and channel catfish is slowing due to the cool weather. Reported by: Oregon D.F.W |

| About: -
Owyhee River may be Idaho's and Oregon's most secluded river.
Hidden among thousands of square miles of remote canyons and sagebrush desert
where Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon meet, the river was named for a group of
Hawaiians who disappeared up the river in 1810. Five different stretches of the
Owyhee are known for their whitewater. The Rome to Lake Owyhee section is a
popular intermediate run, with a couple of drops rated up to Class IV. The Rome
launch site has excellent access for two-wheel drive vehicles. Overnight
camping, potable water, and toilet facilities are available.
