Does Anyone know the best river levels, cfh and temps for the old catfish spawn?
Im taking my son over for a few days and want some good action!
-
get with sir rasbo, he is the official catfish rendezvous go to person :tung:
-
The catfish rendezvous was a lot of fun, and a chance to meet some good people.
-
Last report I saw was from last weekend and 8 were caught.
-
I've done well fishing from shore in April on the main snake river. Mid may into June should be good for the shallows in the Palouse. They might've started early this year since its been warmer earlier this year.

Carp are rolling all over, water temps were upper 50's. We caught 11 in a little over two hours then the weather changed and the wind blew and only caught 4 in the next four hours of fishing..
-

had to ask :bash: thanks ridgeratt
-
Anyone crossed the channel yet? Just wondering if we are gonna have issues this year?
-
Well be down there from Thursday to sunday...The flat is lower than last year since there is hardly any water flowing into the Snake and water level is low...
-
You should swing through the campground tomorrow night to. :tup:
-
I'll be at a tent spot, Kodiak canvas tent, crew cab titan with canopy. Adam should be arriving around 7 and will be in a f-150 Parked at my camp spot. Ed and company will be at a RV spot with his fifth wheel (I think) and big blue Dodge.
Craig, swing by if you can.
-
If you see a guy in a Forest green 08 Tundra Crew max Hollar at me, Id rather be fishing than golfing...

We ended up with 24 for the weekend was all. The biggest fish from our group was caught by my best friend Scott Imholt 10.1 lbs which is #1 in the derby right now, wifes best was 7.7lbs, mine 7.3 lbs I believe. Still was just an ok weekend for us. Sat was windy and our best day was Friday evening where we caught 11 in a few hours.

Good luck! Hopefully you catch more than me :o

We did make it. But even on plane, I was hitting mud. So, just tilted motor and idled using depth finder. Shallowest part was 1 to 1.5 feet, as my depth finder wouldn't read less than 1.5'. For the most part, water level on the Snake river bridge was about 46', which is low.
FYI, not sure how long they've been missing (as I wasn't able to go last year), but some jerk pulled all the channel marker poles!
Also, fishing was pretty slow Thursday evening thru Sunday morning. In my boat, we only caught 10 cats. Biggest was 8lb. Other boat with our group only caught two cats and one walleye. Friday afternoon thru late Saturday afternoon was tough; lots of wind!

Sorry man, we were getting blown around in the wind at the mouth of the Tucannon...lol. Thought we'd give it a try, as it was really slow fishing (and windy) on the Palouse Friday. Based on YJ's report, sounds like we should have braved the waves to get up the Palouse Friday afternoon/evening.
Take care,

17 cats in our camp, lots of smallies. I was reading 62 deg. in the palouse above the flats

Good eats tonight.

.7 was the lowest I got in the mud flats. Had no issues crossing hammered down and wide open in my prop boat.
Great company poor fishing and amazing stories.
Woodchuck, my apologies again. I had no idea I would have no service on the water when I had full service at camp.
Water temps were 62-66 on my electronics.
Punch bait went 50/50 to cut bait. Slip bobber to hook with no weight went 50/50 as well.
Thanks again boys and gal for the fun weekend.

Caught seven Monday night. My kids hit right as we started head I g in. 6#7 oz...he's in first for boys.
Caught two smaller ones the next morning. Most caught in the main river, but we caught and lost a few all over. Cut trout as bait. Left for banks lake. . ..bass sure shrink. Never caught any dinks before.
