Has anybody fished brownlee the last week or so? I'm sure with this weather it may change the fishing anyway, but I thought I would ask. I'm going with a buddy on Saturday to hopefully find a few chukar and try our luck with the crappie and bass.

the bass fishing has gone downhill in the last 2 weeks.carolina rig and drop shot. you can find all the crappie you want in the fish camp and downstream areas using your fish finder. havent heard many chukar low since season opened.

How is the size on the crappies there this year?

Thanks for the response, I kind of wondered if they had turned off. Sounds the same as it was in the spring for the crappie. As for the chukar, we will probably be doing a lot more hiking than hunting and shooting. Should be a good time though. Thanks again for the report!

In the spring they were very small.6-7 inchers. My buddy went in September and said a few had grown a bit . I think they have a year or so before they are good sized.

Was there on Saturday fishing a tournament. Run and gun was the trick. Hardly a fish on the Grizzly. One and two at a time. I used mostly Carolina green pumpkin fluke. 10 to 20 ft. Crappie were everywhere caught a few on accident nothing big. Not a crappie fisherman but I would say they were pretty small compared to some I have caught in the past. Never saw any chuckars on the Idaho side but I did see a few on the Oregon side.

Just got back. Saw a fair number of birds, and had a good time. Lots of little bass. Didn't find crappie In numbers. Just a few here and there. Didn't spend a long time searching for them though. Probably my last trip fishing there until next spring. Thanks for The reports guys.

Idaho. They weren't close to the reservoir, but there seemed to be a number of birds around
