Northwest Fishing Reports

I was that guy laughing at you. I think everybody does what you did the first time up the palouse. You can actually go up a ways into the river past the flats for good catfish action as well. I have personally caught over 100 cats in the last 5 years there (yearly vacation). Another tip for boatless...

My dad caught a 12 lb catfish at paradise park a few years back. I went to the park and hooked about an eight foot sturgeon, and caught a 4 lb blue. Better luck in the snake!

edit-all caught off cutbait from the shore in the main river.

OK, let's take this one step further, cause I don't have it figured out. The bait rule is for trout, that is clear, and I understand it. This is the only State I know of that uses the rule, but I understand it. But, let's say I am fishing, with bait, for, oh let's say walleye. Now, I catch a couple...

It sucks but no. Unless you pull one from Lake Washington. I hear walleye rumors in some lakes but doubt they are there unless someone is using a bucket biologist degree:-"

Great idea ;)

I've been to harts and swofford more than a few times. I always get skunked. Does anyone have any advice on where the fish are and what time of year is the best to catch them?

I go to the palouse once a year and catch a bunch of channels and blues, but never on the westside have I found luck.
