Umatilla River Summer Steelhead:
The fishing on the Umatilla River and the Umatilla Basin is
one of the success stories in the Columbia Basin. For nearly
70 years, salmon were not present in the Umatilla River.
Irrigation diversions and habitat damage extinguished them
in the early 1900s. Today, salmon are once again thriving in
the Umatilla River and making a remarkable comeback. For 13
of the last 16 years, enough adult spring Chinook have
returned to the Umatilla River to provide a spring Chinook
fishing season. In addition to spring Chinook, the Umatilla
River produces significant numbers of summer steelhead, fall
Chinook, and Coho salmon. According to the Umatilla Tribal

American name for the river, which was first recorded as
Youmalolam in the journals of the Lewis and Clark
Expedition. As of 2000, the population of Umatilla County
was 70,548. The county seat is located at Pendleton.
Stanfield is named after Sen. Robert N. Stanfield who
purchased the area for use as the headquarters of his
extensive sheep and wool enterprises. Because of its
proximity to the railroad, the site was used for shearing
wool, holding sheep for shipping, and storing supplies for
the operations in warehouses. With the development of an
irrigation system serving the lands around Stanfield, Sen.
Stanfield joined with a developer to subdivide the area and
create the town of Stanfield, operating excursion trains to
being interested buyers to Stanfield to see the lots that
were being offered for sale. As of 2000, the population of
Stanfield was 1,979.
