So last year a friend of mine invited me to go fishing for a week at Brownlee on the Oregon-Idaho border. I took my wife and son and 2 daughters (11,9, and 4). I caught anywhere from 60 to 100 Crappie a day, and half a dozen to a dozen bass. My friend also pulled in a 15 lb Catfish. There are no limits on Crappie or Catfish and it appears that spearfishing and bowhunting the Catfish is legal. I've been told by the locals that the first couple weeks of June the Jerusalem Cricket population EXPLODES, so bad that the roads in places are like driving on ice from squished crickets. Also as the crickets pour into the lake great big feeding balls of Catfish feed on them. Might be fun to bowhunt some big catfish!!! Has anyone ever fished this area?
PS. the bank fishing was just as good as the boat.
