First real trip to the Palouse. Took awhile to figure out how to get up the river but eventually we did. We started out about a quarter of a mile up the main river above the big mud flat. We were in 5 FOW and were using cut up trout for bait. My daughter caught the first and only cat of the day. It was about 4 lbs. That ended up being the only one, we had one other obvious cat bite. We did also catch a dink smallie and a little perch on a drop shot rig on nightcrawlers. I also caught a small bullhead so technically I guess we caught 2 members of the catfish family.
