The Owhyee is a river where the Trout turn from stream Trout to lake Trout with a flip of the water switch. When the water is low, slow and cold the fish will mainly feed on Midges. The fish will cruise around looking for food rather than staying in one spot waiting for the food to come to them. Sometimes during the Winter it pays to just cruise the river until you can find a pod of fish feeding. Sometimes it pay off better for you when you are patient and hunt the fish than to drive up there and only fish a couple of holes. Timeing and weather are everything on the Owhyee.

Some anglers are having excellent success using Wolly Buggers and other streamers in the larger deeper pools. Judging form some of the photo's I've seen if the midging is slow switch to the Woolly Buggers.
