Anyone been to Lyons Ferry/Palouse River recently. I am curious to know how the river looked?

So would that boat launch be at Wye park I see on google maps? It look pretty shallow and rocky around there, no big deal if your not a wingnut I only see very limited trailer parking, 4 spaces? Would you happen to know more about parking boat trailers there? Thanks.   

No launching at the wye unless you can carry your boat. Concrete blocks on ramp. You can put in at Columbia point in Richland or chiawana park in pasco. Both are very close, plenty of parking and great ramps.

Main river looked good, not much runoff this year is what I heard. I fished from shore yesterday for 3 hours, got 3 fish lost about 6 on the main river. One probably went 15 pounds or so. Lost one right after that that felt bigger and was stripping more line or it was a small sturgeon. They said they're already back in the mouth of the Palouse fishing and doing well. My dad is bringing his boat over the weekend of the 17th so well be fishing there thurs to Monday.

Anyone else been out lately? I went out last night with my son and two good friends. We caught a handful. Bite was slow but we ended up with about a dozen in 5 hours.

Tonight was a little better and the fish were a lot better too!

Spent Saturday on the palouse, caught a few fish but nothing of any size at all. Had a great time and learned the water well for my first time out there. These PacNW cats sure are tough to figure out compared to South Carolina.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Catfishing was slow this weekend but we kept a few for a fish fry. If anyone is wondering who the woman's leader is at the Lyons Ferry Catfish Derby, she is pictured below and I am a proud dad!

8.15 pounds
