Mickey and I will be there the week before. We camped at the first section of the Hewlit Holcom park. First come first served. Nice park, hook ups, grass and showers and its own boat ramp.Hopefully there will be spots available. It would suck to show up and have to search for a place to stay! Thanks for the info, and see you there. I’m taking that week off and heading over along with the in laws. Can’t wait! The only downside would be if the ocean is flat that week!
What is the tent camping like at Hewitt park?
Thinking of making the venture this year. How close from the campsites to "productive fishing"? Not secret spots just a general idea. I used to fish for them in central oregon years ago but it's been a while.

Brownlee reservoir is huge, like 50 miles long. The Hewitt park where most camp is on the powder river arm of Brownlee. Most people fished from the park last year, but some people fished all over the reservior. If you fish the Powder river arm, you need an Oregon license, so people from Idaho may choose to fish the main channel where their Idaho license is good.Thanks James, also Oxbow is about 30 miles from the camp ground and can have nice fish as well.
Well, Jed, so happens the tournament is the same weekend of round 2 of the WA State lacrosse championship, and my daughter and I both want to watch my son’s team.Thanks for the heads up John, hope your son does well. Maybe I'll catch you at the ORC.
Y’all have a great time fishing the BCS!
Anyone know about the average water depth in the powder river arm and main channel? Anyone with recent water temp info? Just curious. Thanks.From what I've been hearing the water temp is around 60 and I'm not sure what the average depth is. There's the old river channel that runs the length of it but I usually just hit the shoreline.
Sweet, thanks! Trying to learn as much as I can before I get there. I've never targetted any species on the list except for the rare bass I get lucky with. Are two rods allowed? I find the e regulations a chore. I've been looking for twenty minutes. Not that I need two rods, but I do like to leave the lure just barely in the water so it doesn't get tangled if I switch rods to a different rig for a few casts and technically that's two rods.Two rods allowed with Two Pole endorsement. When I run two rods I have one in the holder with a small plug and hold the second rod in my hand usually with a couple of plastics. When I catch a fish I'll turn around and make another pass. If I catch more fish then I set up shop right there. I'm heading down shortly so I'll have some intel by this afternoon hopefully.
