This past spring I took my wife catfishing. We went to Brownlee reservoir. Brownlee is a large reservoir on the Snake River on the border of Idaho and Oregon. It's famous here locally for Crappie and Catfish. This past year was an insane water year so they had drawn the reservoir down quite a bit for most of the spring and early summer to try to deal with the years massive runoff. I have never seen the reservoir this low, so fishing was a guessing game... we didn't get into the cats until a later trip but we sure hit the carp...
And the second
And the cats we caught on the return trip 3 days later
The guy in the picture is my uncle, I am not pictured... was a pretty good night of fishing.. we tossed back twice as many as are on the stringer.. my wife wanted to keep them all but I knew our freezer was going to be pushed to it's limits with just this one trip.. we have had some great fish fries this year.
