https://trroutfitters.com/owyhee-river/ Best stretch: Snively Hot Springs up river to the Dam

The prime stretch for trout fishing on the Owyhee is above Snively Hot Springs up to the dam, a distance of about 10-12 miles through a canyon. This is upriver from the more agricultural valley below, where trout fishing is poor or worse. Owyhee Lake Road follows the river closely.

Fish will be everywhere throughout this section, but Reschke recommends skipping the long stretches of deep, slow-moving water. Most fish in these “still water” areas are small rainbows and browns, he says. Instead, focus your attention on riffles and runs with some current. Those areas are easy to find on the Owyhee, and if you don’t catch anything within 20 minutes, try somewhere else.
