 | | Brownlee Reservoir is located near the mid-western Idaho and southwestern Oregon borders. The reservoir is also a ground for salmonid spawning and used for recreation and domestic water supply. The reservoir is through-flowing, since it has a relatively short residence time that varies from 15 to 70 days. The three major tributaries are the Snake, Powder and Burnt Rivers. The reservoir has turnover periods in the spring and fall. Brownlee Reservoir is 57-mile long. The following fish species have been reported to inhabit Brownlee: Smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, bluegills, several species of bull heads, channel catfish, blue catfish, flathead catfish, black crappie, white crappie, sturgeon, red eared sunfish, pumpkinseed, rainbow trout, and more recently brown trout and walleye. Our sole purpose is to provide a means for dedicated people such as you to have a voice in the preservation and maintenance of Brownlee, as we have known it in the past. Our goal is to maintain a more consistent water level and to provide the species that are all ready in the reservoir time to reproduce in the spring, with constant water levels. This will provide better fishing in years to come. With more constant water levels all forms of recreation activities will benefit. |
