fishking
10/27/2008 2:38:00 PMi live in spokane now but I actually grew up in endicott used to ride my bike 6 miles to fish this river alot when i was younger. Between my buddy and i growin up weve pulled out thousands and thousands of squaw fish aka northern pike minnow over the years. When we were younger we never caught any bass or rainbows or catfish. within the last 5 years ive caught more bass than squaws and caught a couple of rainbows and catfish i never knew were in there and doubt the state does. They are slowly working with the farmers to clean the river up but its just a deal where if the farmer wants to help he can so not much is goin on. I would no recommend eating any fish from the river but its a good river to just park and walk up definetly in the summer as the water warms up to about 80 and the bass go nuts around sun up and sun down. the deepest spot on the river is probably around 15 to 20 feet most spots are no more than 6 feet deep. Theres alot of rocks everywhere and tons of wildlife. This could be a quality trout stream plus bass and catfish if the state would work on it. the river starts up in the idaho mountains and ties in with the snake river just after palouse falls.
