I fished the Owyhee River last Sunday for a few hours.  The water was a little high for my preference and very off-colored but the fish were cooperative.  I fished my 9′ 0″  5 wt  EuroNymphing Rod.  Using a French Style technique with “slinky” indicators and 5X tippets, I landed 8 nice brown trout on size 20 black Zebra Midges and Size 18 Pheasant Tail Nymphs.  There were lots of hoppers out and I might have been one of the only anglers on the river who wasn’t fishing dries, but I had great success on my small dark nymphs fished in the riffles.  The fish I landed were between 12″ and 20″…very fat browns!  Too bad I didn’t have a camera with me, but here’s a photo from a previous trip of one of the big Owyhee Browns.
