Fish Report for 9-18-2024

Some Nice Coho Catches!

9-18-2024
OR Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff

Salmon fishing opened on Sept. 1 on the Umatilla River. While fishing is still a little slow, a few anglers have caught some nice coho on the lower river casting spinners.

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.
