Yellowstone River in April.......

[Big Cat Dad]

When you think of fishing and Montana many people think trout. I, Big Sky Catman & Cat Ferret met on the Yellowstone river this weekend and we had quite a successful trip. The Yellowstone is the longest undammed river in the lower 48 states and the cats sure were hungry. One day & one night of fishing (Saturday)resulted in 28 fish being caught (and all released!!) Here is our catch list and a few pictures to share.

Nice fish Dad! Looks like a comfy area to set up too. How deep is it through there?

Way to go you guys!! That must have been a fun day of fishing!! A 7lb average on your channel cats is pretty incredible IMO. 12pounder is not too shabby either.

What do the channels out there like to eat? Trout? Oops. Did I just say that.

Fishing from shore...I couldn't tell you specifically what the depth was but probably 12-15 feet.

They munch on your standard catfish chow. We caught most on chunked sucker. Although I'm sure they do down a nice rainbow from time-to-time
