We went fishing Friday and Saturday at the Palouse River last weekend. Wind was a pain on Friday and we couldn't even get our hand made anchor my dad made at work, since he forgot the anchor at home before he left to come to my place to fish. Saturday we caught 6 catfish, could've caught more Saturday morning but we ran out of squawfish and had to get more in the afternoon and caught 2 more in the evening. Just go up in 2-3 feet of water and catch some squawfish for bait. Cut it up and throw it out with a bobber a foot or two under the bobber or just throw it out with a weight. I saw some people with up to 20 fish. I'm not sure how great a canoe would be in the wind and waves that come with it.
