Brownlee Reservoir on an ordinary Idaho day
The IDFG Fishing Planner sizes Brownlee Reservoir at 10,995 acres, in Washington County. IDFG manages it under the IDFG Southwest Region (Nampa subregion). USGS NHD gives the water surface at about 2,072 ft.
IDFG recommends it for bluegill / pumpkinseed / sunfish, bullhead catfish, largemouth bass, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and catfish. Newest IDFG stocking row on file: White Sturgeon, 24 fish, Adults, October 27, 2025. The IDFG, BLM and Forest Service layers map 1 access site on the Idaho side. The reservoir is shared with Oregon; the BAM contests read launch from Farwell Bend State Park on the Oregon shore, and Oregon's side of the story is on its own Brownlee contest page. Fishing here takes an Idaho fishing license; Idaho Code 36-416 sets the annual statutory fee at $28.75 for residents and $106.25 for nonresidents, and steelhead or salmon fishing takes its own permit. Brownlee Reservoir forms part of the Idaho-Oregon line, and the BAM field launches from Farwell Bend State Park on the Oregon shore, so check which state's license the host requires for the water you fish.
