Brownlee Reservoir, OR

A warm-water fishery, Brownlee Reservoir offers choice fishing for bass, catfish, crappie, trout, sunfish and perch. This is an 11,000-acre impoundment on the eastern border of the state, spanning over 50 miles of the Snake River.

Much of the 190 miles of shoreline is not accessible due to steep terrain or lack of roads. Richmond and Huntington are the primary access points from the Oregon side. Camping, boat ramps and other amenities are available in both areas. The lake sits at an elevation of just over 2,000 feet above sea level, offering a wide variety of both warm-water and cold-water fish species. Bass, crappie, catfish, trout and sunfish all reside here and flourish during different seasons. This waterway is a great destination for pleasure boats, kayaks, canoes and all types of fishing boats.
