Right on. My sister and some cousins live in PR and most of my family is from the Pendleton and PR area. Ask him if he knows the Beers family. And what's your friends name? PR is pretty small so i'm sure they know each other. heck I might even know.
I found this article on Wikipedia, dated 2010, it may be of some help. BTW, I lived in Hermiston for five years as a youngster. I was blown away when I had an occasion to drive through what was, at the time I lived there in the early 1950's, a one stop sign town. It is huge by comparison

BAKER CITY, Ore. — For the fifth time in seven years, anglers will have a chance to catch chinook salmon in the upper Powder River.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife on Thursday will start releasing several hundred spring chinook in the river just below Mason Dam.
Salmon once returned in the thousands to spawn in the Powder River and many of its tributaries, but that stopped when the Thief Valley Dam was built near North Powder in 1932.
Salmon returned to the river in 2004, when ODFW had a surplus of hatchery chinook gathered from a trap below Hells Canyon Dam.
The agency repeated the salmon releases in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
I live on the Powder River very good fishing throughout the summer months or smallmouth bass also in the spring we have channel catfish move on up in the river the mouth of the Powder River dumps into Brownlee which is very good for all the other panfish we had a real good year for crappie we are expecting a better season with bigger crappie and Brownlee this coming year this fall we were averaging 9 to 10 inch fish .
