UMATILLA RIVER: Fall Chinook, coho, summer steelhead, trout, bass, walleye
Spring Chinook fishing on the Umatilla River is starting to wind down. To date, around 2,300 Spring Chinook have reached Three Mile Falls damn. As a reminder, hatchery steelhead retention Closed May 1 and spring Chinook retention closes June 30th.
There is now a new regulation in place with a hook gap size that may not exceed 3/8 inch in the section of the Umatilla River above the CTUIR reservation. This new regulation is to protect bull trout and decrease the chance of hooking mortality. As a reminder, if you catch a bull trout, recognized by its white spots, please keep it in the water and release it as quickly as possible. Targeting bull trout is NOT allowed in the Umatilla River.
