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

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.

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.
