Catfish in Oregon?

Spandextros · 07-19-05, 07:30 PM

Recently I have heard rumors of Catfish in Oregon... I am more a bass person myself and was wondering if these rumors are true and if so where are they and what should I use for bait?

Depends on the type of catfish.

Up here, we get hornpout that are about 1-2 lbs. Down south, they get above 50 lbs.

Hey spand, I dont know if there is any in eastern oregon but i know in western oregon there is a crapload at brownlee, oxbow and hells canyon and all through the snake river, BTW how is the salmon over there

Salmon fishing is badass now... not as good as last year but you can still haul some 30 pound hogs out now n then. Mostly stealhead right now but fall runs coming up soon so I might keep some space on my tag for that run. Most steelies are running 8-12 pounds and salmon are in the 15+ typically. Last year was mad... 1st fish on my tag was a 36 incher. This year I average 3 fish every 2 trips so it is still pretty hot right now. BTW thanks for the tip

I am heading to the seattle area to fish for humpys, and hopefully some silvers, I know i am gonna miss the kings by about a week or two, last year i had a big blast, i nailed a 42 lb fish and a couple at 30

Not bad, hey you ever seen the "humpys from hell" T-shirts? I got one in Alaska when I was fishing in a coho run for 6 hours and caught about half a million humpys and no coho. heh but what cha gonna do, I did get a 4 pound dolly varden though so I wasn't too sore.

Last year, while I was fishing for cohos, I caught a bunch of dolly's but nothing over two, but, i did get a ocean run cutthroat that weighted 8,

I would try shad, shrimp, or some cut-bait.

I would try some chicken livers or night crawlers.
