Is there normally good fishing for the cats on the yak after the runoff?

There is a guy on here that was slaying them last year. I have only fished it about 3 times and have only caught 1 14-15lbr using some of those gulp minnow jigs, kind of a fluke haha. I need to try it during the evening/night time sometime.

Anybody got recent pics?
We'll see if my girlfriend gets down to Lyons Ferry Wednesday, she said she's going to since I've caught bait to use in the last week or two. I'll tell her to take pics, I'm sure she will since I teased her with a bunch of crappie I caught this evening. They should be able to get a few out in the main river as long as they don't get hung up on the rocks or break off the fish.

Are these areas fishable with my 12' Sorenson with 15hp or would I need to drag the bigger boat over there? 18' Fish Rite. The Sorenson is like a Livingston just built a little tougher. I would like to travel as light as possible but don't want to sacrifice safety.
Both the mouth of the Palouse and mouth of the Yakima would be fine with the 12 footer. There's a launch back in slack water in Kennewick by Bateman's Island and there's the Lyon's Ferry launch right across the Snake River to the mouth of the Palouse. I've seen people with 10 and 12 foot jon boats out there fishing by the Yakima.

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 :chuckle: 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.

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

Nice fish! Always good to see those kids out there catching fish.
