Fishing for fall chinook and coho is winding down on the Umatilla River. To date, about 4,000 fall chinook, 7,000 coho and 600 summer steelhead have reached Three-Mile Falls Dam. In the first week of November, an average of 36 summer steelhead reached the dam per day. As we approach winter, anglers can expect to find summer steelhead dispersed throughout the river.
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. No targeting of bull trout is allowed in the Umatilla River.
