no I have not,I work so much havent had time to explore,good catfishing over there?

Rasbo, the yakima is where to fish for cats!  The water needs to be warm then the bite is on!!   

I use stew meat soaked in garlic salt and steak seasoning out in the sun for a few days. Or fresh cut bait.  Late at night or early morning hours..  Good times for sure..

Doesn't have too be too warm......... Some of the biggest cats I have caught have been in the end of February when they start to move in from the Columbia.
It's a great time and they get BIG!

You can launch at Columbia Point in Richland and run up. You will want to do it in the daytime as there is a mudflat and you need to stay in the channel.

It's similar to the Palouse and I know you love that river.

Or launch at the end of Columbia Center drive. Few easy spots around bateman island

Had some of our most fun fish in trips on the lower Yak. We float it and fish for cats and smallies. Down at the mouth is real good!!!!
