Kayak Fishing Northwest Tour Event #2 Lake Umatilla Results

Get ready for one of the wildest days on the Columbia River gorge!Welcome to KFNW Event #2 2025 on Lake Umatilla – 110 miles of wind-whipped fury sitting on top of a real drowned ghost town. Old streets, railroad tracks, and Highway 730 lie 50–80 feet beneath every cast. The same relentless gorge wind that draws windsurfers also turns the current into a smallmouth buffet line… and 85 hungry kayak anglers just feasted.631 fish hit the TourneyX leaderboard (almost all bronzebacks), three absolute giants over 20 inches in the first 10 minutes of the day, and when the dust settled at 3 PM, the record books got rewritten.
