Scads of small mouth, catfish, salmon that you probably will not be able to touch, rainbow up Hells Canyon a ways and sturgeon catch and release only.  Book with Snake Dancer if you are a guide kind of guy.  Neat place.

thanks guys,  I've got a wa fishing licence only.

You guys have catfish knowledge?

Rod? line weight? leaders? hooks? bait?

I'd love to hook some catfish!  :IBCOOL:

I don't fish it but just west of town by the Golf Course pond. There's a bunch of people fishing for cats. They catch a couple of trout in the pond and then fish the river.  The limit on trout on the river is 2.

I'd try it, ran into a guy with a good stringer of cats and he was using sand shrimp? If not do what the locals do.
