Catfishing on the Palouse - Extended Cut

The Palouse River in Central/Eastern Washington has a stark beauty that makes the trip well worth it - and the excellent catfishing is the reason to travel to this remote part of the state. Join Aaron and Mike as we fish with Craig Dowdy of YJ Guide Service for these tasty fish.

I caught catfish on the Palouse a number of years ago trolling orange Wigglewarts for walleye on the 4th of July, 8 to 10lb average. when I cleaned them they were full of crayfish. Delicious- rivalled any walleye I've eaten.

When I was a kid there were lots of catfish in the Palouse river near Potlatch, Idaho.

I don't. I believe it would be state land so I kind of doubt it, but I don't know. A cool place to camp if you could.

We launch across from the mouth at Lyons Ferry, which I would not recommend crossing in your craft. Very windy and choppy. I am not aware of a launch site on the other side of the Snake closer to the mouth of the Palouse.

Northwest Fishing Reports what can u use to catch them and what's the limit

[@mikeposey6461]

@@jessereyes4070 no limit..

[@NorthwestFishingTV]

To be honest I didn't notice the rods the guide had us use. Medium/heavy, 8 ft spinning rods I would say would do just fine.

River in Central Washington and Does it have limit per day ?

[@mikeposey6461]

no limit..

[@jgbelmont]

Looked like a Cabelas Classic to me. ;).

[@NorthwestFishingTV]

on a low budget, LOL. Thanks. :-)

[@jazzfolkrocker]

Great video! I'm planning on coming out there in the next week, but I've never fished it. I don't have anything but a 30lb thrust trolling motor for my smokercraft, so I was planning on bank fishing. Do you know if the area up from the mouth is public access and fishable?

[@LarryCebula]

Low budget or not this is a really good video. What kind of cameras did you use? What kind of software?

[@NorthwestFishingTV]

Canon HD camcorders and GoPros. Thank you, sorry for the slow response.

[@NorthwestFishingTV]

+Larry Cebula oh, Adobe CS6

[@jgbelmont]

Great video. What kind of rods are your favorite for that area?

[@mikeposey6461]

For what kind of fishing? I'v been fishing the palouse and surrounding waters for 20 years.

[@realbigsquid]

Very cool. I smell a fish fry! Delicious.
