where is a good place to catch catfish in eastern WA and what are they using?
Where the Palouse River meets the Snake near Lyons Ferry is well known for catfish. Also several areas along the Snake river. Baits vary, but generally speaking the Cat's aren't too particular. Last time out I used a small strip of Steelhead, but Crawlers, Liver, catfish baits you can find at sporting goods stores, all should work
Thanks! Fishing from boat or bank? Any campgrounds close?
Boat gives you better access. Check out Lyons Ferry State Park or Lyons Ferry KOA. Both nearby. Month of April is prime time for theses fish in the Palouse. State park is right next to the confluence of the two rivers.
Thanks again for your help.
Fish and game has a list of places to fish for Catfish. Type in your browser. Catfish in Eastern Washington. Fish and game will come up. Where are you located? Good luck.
Thanks for the information.
E Wenatchee. I'm going to give Roses Lake a try.

I’ve been checking out catfish locations as well. I’ve never went catfishing, although I have caught a couple. Channel cats are supposed to be good eating.
check the WFW site, they have some interesting stuff.
mouth of the walla wall river a columbia river tributary, use bacon or cut bait. Several places along the colunbia , using worms or cut bait. Ive caught them at the mouth of the umatilla river up to 30lbs. using dead trout.
