    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Stayed at Owyhee for nearly a week, fishing was decent hard to get any of size to bite but, it seemed while we were there some of the Lm were moving into the shallows and weeds although it was still fairly slow, probably due to the temp.

Caught most ish in back o coves wherever a ew rocks came out into the water. Best lure was a 5" Senko. 2nd day I only ished hal a day. Caught 13 with largest an 8 lb emale in back o cove on rocks on a Senko. Saw lots o 5 inch bass. Must have had a good spawn last year. Lake was way down or this time o year. Looked like this year's spawn is also ok. Lots o nice crappie to 1 lb. Best size crappie I have seen here in a while. Why don't you Oregon people use this sight? SAme sight that we have in Caliornia and it is going gang-busters.

    Water Temp: 60 to 70

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Fished Owyhee 2 days, caught a total o 25 bass. It was a very strange trip. O the 25 bass 20 were 1 lb. I also caught one 2 lber,one 3 lbs, one 5 lbs, one 7 lbs and one 8 lbs. Feast or amine. All ish were caught in less than 10 eet o water. Where are all the middle weights? I am assuming that several years o spawn were let high and dry. When I was there the lake was down over 30 eet and was dropping at a rate o one oot a day. Fish all appear to have inished their spawn so hopeully this spawn took. I did see some 6 inch bass and had lots o strikes rom small ish (less than 12 inches). Caught most ish on Senkos, however 2 largest came on a surace plug and a crank bait. Fish were on rock tumbles on the main lake or near points that bottomed out at 10 eet. THese ish came rom middle lake. I caught nothing at upper end. Lots o algae in the water. I hope Oregon gets its act together. It is such a neat lake when ull.
