I am looking for channel catfish locations as close to Spokane as possible. Any Ideas?
The only place I have caught them so far is at the mouth of the Walla Walla river in Pasco.

Potholes has many big cats, and Moses isn't bad either. That whole chain has them. For sheer numbers the Snake and Columbia are best, from Priest Rapids on down.

I've caught bass above the falls, but haven't caught catfish.

I've fished above the falls and have a real good spot for squawfish.
