Kilchis River Fishing Report

10-10-2017
OR Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff

The Kilchis opened for fall Chinook on Aug. 1. It’s still a little early for this run on the Kilchis, but with the recent rains there should be a few Chinook sneaking in, although this fishery really won’t heat up until we get good rains and the river comes up. Bobber fishing bait, back-bouncing, back-trolling plugs or divers and bait, or casting spinners can all be effective methods.

While technically open on Sept. 16, chum salmon won’t show up until late October, usually. Early November will be the best time to target this catch-and-release fishery. In addition to the other techniques mentioned, chum will hit jigs and flies if presented well.

Trout season is open, and there should be some nice cutthroat around. Sea-run cutthroat should be entering the lower river now, too. Remember, the limit is two per day over 8-inches, and bait is now allowed.
