The fishing was tough on Lake Umatilla over the weekend. The weather and getting a fishing buddy his first Sturgeon made it well worth the effort. We fished Sat-Sun with only 2 bites and one fish to the boat measuring in at 55" and one breaking 80lb leader. I can only hope the barbless hook will work it's way out sooner then later.. We tried several different baits while smelt was accepted by both fish. The Umatilla Inn had a cleaning station for those who did catch any keepers. For a small town I was supprised Umatilla was equiped with 2 strip joints?! Needless to say good times were had but we'll probably go to the Dalles for more action next time. G'luck and stay safe
