The Umatilla River supports populations of spring Chinook, fall Chinook, and Coho salmon as well as small trout in its upper reaches.
Public access to salmon and steelhead fishing is fairly good downstream of the Oregon Route 11 bridge.
Upstream of the bridge, the river runs through the Umatilla Indian Reservation, where fishing is limited to those with a tribal permit.
