The water levels have come up on the Umatilla, visibility is about a foot and there are still fish being caught. A total of 66 steelhead have returned to Three Mile Falls Dam so far in April, with a total of 1,238 returning steelhead up to date for the overall run. Most of the steelhead should be evenly distributed through the system and anglers are finding success with fish moving higher up near Pendleton.

Look for steelhead in the slower moving water, in the soft pockets on the insides of runs or in the slower water in pools. Anglers have been finding success using jigs and corkies, as well as swinging flies with sinking tips.
