I agree 100%, the tribal site is well done and they've done a good job with keeping it updated. It's probably worth mentioning for anyone that hasn't visited before that you have to purchase a permit from the Ace Hardware in Owyhee to fish on the reservation. I believe you can also still pick one up at Cabela's as well.
I went to Sheep Creek a couple times this year, once in June and more recently in mid September. I found similar conditions to what Kodiak is describing, plenty of moss and algae. The drought conditions in that area have definitely taken a toll on the water quality. During the trip in September I managed to land two, one 13 incher and this much nicer one. I also agree completely that it's an awfully long drive for one nice fish but hey, it's still much better than working!
Hopefully they'll get plenty of snow this winter and the water conditions will improve next year.
