Idaho - Brownlee Reservoir
Skip the famous smallmouth bass and crappie fishing for a moment and grab the chance to dog channel cats when they're in shallow water and even on the surface. Fish jigs and worms on flat shelves in the upper end of the 57-mile-long reservoir, or bark up another tree, going upstream into flowing water-"beyond Farewell Bend, depending on reservoir levels-"to hunt 5-pounders with crankbaits in pools below riffles. Brownlee Charters, 541-893-6863; brownleecharters.com
Guide's Tips
Species: Catfish
Guide: Gary Gorbet, Brownlee Charters, brownleecharters.com; 541-893-6863
Rig Specifics: Medium-light spinning rod and reel, 10- to 12-pound-test Berkley Trilene line, 3/8-ounce egg sinker, crane swivel, 2/0 snelled hook, using fresh cut bait.
Quick Tip: Your bait should be as fresh as possible, whether it's crappie or something that you catch out of the lake
Where to Fish: The Powder River arm, which is actually in Oregon. It's where the Powder River first dumps into the reservoir-what locals call the Powder River flats-near the town of Richland.
