Brownlee Reservoir is a premier warmwater fishing destination spanning approximately 60 miles along the Oregon-Idaho border on the Snake River. This massive 11,000-15,000 acre impoundment boasts some of the Pacific Northwest's best fishing opportunities for a variety of species. With 190 miles of shoreline—much of it characterized by steep, rocky terrain—Brownlee offers diverse fishing environments from the upper reservoir near Farewell Bend down to Brownlee Dam. Situated at approximately 2,000 feet above sea level, this reservoir serves as the uppermost and most productive of the three Hells Canyon Complex reservoirs. The depth and structure of Brownlee create ideal habitats for numerous game fish species, making it a must-visit destination for anglers seeking quality fishing in a scenic desert canyon setting.
