I have wanted to fish Brownlee Reservoir for crappie since I first heard of its legendary status as the best crappie fishery in Oregon. But I made the rookie mistake of only visiting for one day, and that day happened to be a down day for crappie fishing. We did all right on smallmouth bass, and besides, you can learn something from my mistake - make Brownlee a multi-day trip.

The incident first unfolded on Feb, 3rd 2024, when ODFW received a mortality alert for a GPS-collared wolf in the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. Flying into the area of the signal, they confirmed that the breeding female of the pack was dead. Later, the dead breeding male and a juvenile were also located.
Veterinarians have also confirmed one case of a domestic dog being poisoned that occurred about nine miles north of Enterprise in April. Another recent suspected poisoning case involving a dog was investigated six miles north of Imnaha.
The true toll took several more weeks to uncover, as ODFW and Oregon State Police - Fish & Wildlife Troopers continued to find dead animals; golden eagles, a cougar and coyote as well as a dead Steller's jay and black-billed magpie.
An on-the-ground search was needed to find the source of the poison and after hiking for a full day, ODFW and OSP found a cow carcass laced with poison in a creek in the Imnaha River drainage.
Poison presents a risk to wildlife, pets, water and other natural resources. Some poison can break down slowly and remain dangerous in the environment for long periods of time.

These notoriously finicky fish can grow fast and big. The state records comes from Ana Reservoir at 19 pounds 12 ounces. Bait fishing with chicken livers is a favorite technique, but Wipers will bite on other options like crank baits as well. While February and March are popular times to pursue Wipers, they can be caught all year round. Ana Reservoir is also a popular trout fishery.Warm Water Tour: Preparing your bait for Wipers at Ana ReservoirOregon Department of Fish and Wildlife2024-02-20 | We're heading out to the Ana Reservoir to fish for the legendary white whale, also known as a Wiper, (a hybrid White bass and Striper) that ODFW has stocked in the reservoir every couple of years for the last 30 years. While wipers can be caught with a variety of methods, bait remains the most popular way to catch them. Here's a quick breakdown of what we're bringing with us to Ana Reservoir.Oregon Fish & Wildlife Commission Meeting, February 16, 2024Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife2024-02-16 | dfw.state.or.us/agency/commission/minutes/24/02_Feb/index.aspWarm Water Tour: Winter tackle recommendationsOregon Department of Fish and Wildlife2024-02-14 | We went looking for some tackle recommendations for chasing bass, crappie and bluegill in winter in Oregon.
