Fishing

The Owyhee watershed is home to native interior redband trout, an iconic species known for its persistence in harsh desert climates. The Owyhee system also holds populations of native bull trout and a world-renowned brown trout tailwater fishery below the Owyhee reservoir. Smallmouth bass can be found in the Owyhee reservoir and main stem Owyhee above the reservoir and the entire reach has great opportunities for rafting, canoeing and kayaking.

Hunting

The Owyhee Plateau is known for its wide-open spaces and unique topography that creates the conditions for high quality hunting experiences. Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) for the Owyhee’s are the Owyhee unit 67 and the Whitehorse unit 68. These WMUs provide hunters with quality opportunities to pursue chukar and other upland bird species, mule deer, pronghorn, and a once in a lifetime chance to hunt for California Bighorn Sheep.
