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.
