Description: 338 acres on a bay of Lake Celilo, formed on the Columbia Reservoir by The Dalles dam. Prevailing winds make this a great area for windsurfing and sailboarding. Many enjoy fishing for bass, catfish, crappie, perch, trout, and walleye in season. Others forsake the river altogether in favor of the challenging technical climbing areas. Visitors who make advance reservations can get guided tours of some of the oldest pictographs and petroglyphs in the Pacific Northwest. Lewis and Clark describe a native village here, which stood for centuries until American settlement. The reservoir flooded the actual site.
You got a boat? If so run up the snake!
Habitat: Channel catfish in western Oregon are limited to the Columbia River, lower Willamette River, and a few ponds in the Willamette Valley. They are much more abundant in eastern Oregon, primarily in the Columbia and Snake rivers and their impoundments, Owyhee Reservoir, the Owyhee River, and the John Day River. When given the choice, channel catfish prefer clear lakes and streams, but they can tolerate moderately muddy water if food is abundant. Channel catfish are not particular about what they eat. Included in their diet are fish and frogs, either alive or dead, insects, plant material, crayfish, worms, or snails.
