: UMATILLA RIVER: With flows still low and water temperatures starting to finally cool, anglers should head to upper headwaters this Labor Day weekend in search of trout. Anglers should focus on deeper holes. If you catch a bull trout, recognized by its white spots, please keep it in the water and release it as quickly as possible. ? The fall Chinook, coho and summer steelhead fishery on the Umatilla River opens Sept. 1, 2023. The bag limit is 3 adult fall Chinook salmon, coho salmon or hatchery summer steelhead in aggregate per day and jack salmon.? The fall fisheries will be monitored very closely by fisheries managers to make sure that enough fish are returning for the Umatilla broodstock programs, but returns should provide angling opportunities to harvest fall Chinook, coho and steelhead this year.

About: -
The Umatilla River flows out of the Umatilla National Forest and joins the
Columbia River at Umatilla, north of Hermiston. In its lower reaches, it offers
steelhead and coho and fall Chinook salmon angling. The season on spring Chinook
varies from year to year, depending on run projections made by state fishery
mangers. The upper river has a nice population of rainbow trout, as well as lots
of whitefish and some bull trout. Fall Chinook salmon and coho salmon are in the
river from August through December, peaking in October and November. Spring
Chinook typically make their spawning run here between mid-April and early July.
Steelhead are in the river from September and into May.
