From the mouth to just past the first island. Stay to the right of the island as the water on the left is very skinny, even though it doesn't look like it.

Hey Raz,
Wouldn't miss it. I'll definitely be there again this year. How about June 8th & 9th, as fishing usually starts to get good around Memorial Weekend.

we have found fishing is better when temps hit 65 degrees on the water or warmer,early june has made fishing difficult for the most part,but its open for discussion,also later date makes it better for most folks with kids in school to make it
-
No worries. We did great last year. But, buddy of mine went weekend before we were all there last year and he SLAYED them. I usually start going over weekend before Memorial day (either there or Brownlee reservoir in Oregon) and have always had good luck earlier too.

I might just have to try it this year.
although you guys can have the catfish and i'll be after something with a bit bigger teeth :)

As long as the race schedule permits I will be there. BLUEBULLS if you have an open seat, I know some good drifts right through there.

Who knows. Perhaps the Green Ford will be ready to show up along with some kind of boat. Should have some kind of Apple crate you could set on.
Thats if I don't upset the cart before it happens.
It's not my boat but I'm all in for the cause!!
Besides everyone who sort of knows me it's not my boat the lettering is all Wrong!!! :chuckle:
-
I would absolutely love to make it this year! I don't have a boat though.... does that mean no fishing for me? :'(

This will be my first trip to the festival so I'm not sure just what are the rules.
I may also have to claim my Title while I'm there!!
Seem several folks have hung a tag on me!!
-
we may go...... gonna have to wait and see where we are at with Chemo, jobs, school, etc..... I know the kid wants to go again, as do I but life has a way of getting in the way.
-
hey , anyone that is going and doesn't have a boat , don,t hesitate to join us . i'm sure there are enough people with boats to figure a way to get you on the water .

com'on Ridge, you know the rules,,,, no pink boats :chuckle: :chuckle:
So just where do I find these rules you speak of?

woo hoo im stoked,fished with elite1 and quackwhacker saturday at the potholes,got blew off the water,but has me itching for some catfishing
-
Is this propeller friendly water, or jet only to get to the fishing area?
-
There is a small channel going into the Palouse that is shallow but just mud it was marked last year but easy to follow someone the first time I had a 23 foot alumaweld with a 225 outboard prop and just got it up on top and it goes right through.
-
I won't be able to make it! Wish I would have known about Hunting Washington and this tournament a few years ago. I thought only us imports from Missouri were out here catching catfish! I guess I thought wrong. I am heading up to the KOA at Lyons Ferry tomorrow and will be chasing cats Friday through Monday!
The catfishing has been VERY good in the Yakima River the past two weeks. I am hoping for some of the same at the Palouse River this weekend.
I will be sure to pass along the fishing report. Hopefully our Bowfishing tournament won't be one the same weekend next year.
-
Put a call in tonight for reservations. It will be just me so will have 3 open seats on the boat. Prefer bikinis but will be happy with whoever needs a boat ride. Didn't fish for trout this year so If someone has some trout for bait I will buy it from ya.
-
What's on the menu for the potluck? I can do a potato salad or baked beans. What's the plan?

Wife and I have reservations for 14-16th, will bring the wok again for veggies, can't wait good times :tup:

Snake is about 4 to 5 feet lower this year than last at this time.. Not sure what that will do to getting up the palouse.
-
I promised a fishing report once we returned. It was pretty good we caught 22 in about 4 hours. My son and I had a very nice evening. I will be surprised that crossing the mud bar to get into the Palouse will be possible in a few more weeks. The water is pretty low.
-
Hmmm. What to do? Long drive over to find out you can't make it up to the fishing grounds. I ran up there a couple of years ago in 1.7 feet of water. Does it get lower than that?
-
How did you cross?

If they don't do an early close on Springers at little goose I will be there if not I just might run down to the Palouse and check the water, But short season takes the first chair. :chuckle:

I guide out Lyons Ferry KOA alot here lately and the water is very low on the flat I have a 19ft jetboat and just about got it stuck out there out by the poles so I hope water doesnt go down much more. Water was deffinetly higher last year. Water was 1.5 ft by the poles the other day. We will be there for this also...

Same as everyone else, gun it! Get up on plane and push through. I run a 21 foot Lowe with a 75hp prop. I was kicking up a good amount of mud and at one point started to bog it down. I am going back up on Saturday and would be happy to keep you posted.

We still have a month most every year we have rain-snow melt or something makes the water to rise hope it's happens this year last year we watched a fisherys zodiac stuck for a long time. Like was said get it up on top or follow Elete 1 he will blow out a chanell.

You need to bring over the new ride. I would follow you up for sure. That would be a nice channel to follow behind you.

Was at Little Goose Sunday and Monday the water level was bouncing up to where it was last year and then lower than the week before.
Raised and lowered several times a day and it was 4 foot flucations
-
I crossed it Saturday night and again Sunday morning with out any problems. It was higher than the weekend before. The fishing was a lot slower. We still caught about twenty but it took us all night to do it. The biggest was an 11 lbs. It got us back on the leader board for the derby but I doubt it will last.

I might be able to make it there for a little on Saturday. my wife is gonna be busy with a baby shower, so my kid and I might just head that way for the day.

Good luck over there this year. I went last year and had a great time, but decided to go earlier this year. Just went over last Thursday thru Sunday. Fishing was good Thursday night and Friday Morning, with 11 fish total and several 5 to 6.5 lb fish. Friday night, only caught three fish. Saturday morn., Nothing. Saturday evening, three more. All day Sunday till 11:30pm, nothing. Talked to several other fishermen and boats Saturday and Sunday that all got skunked. Even the carp seem to be done spawning, as they were jumping everywhere on Thursday and Friday. But, Saturday and Sunday there were very few around.
Have fun and good luck to everyone!

The water has been fairly high.

Nobody has been even churning up mud going across the mouth. So there is some depth.
