Fish Report for 12-16-2020

Kilchis River Report

12-16-2020
OR Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff

The Kilchis is known for late season Chinook, but numbers of bright fish will be very low at this point. 

It’s still early for steelhead on the Kilchis. But if we get the predicted rains, this will be one of the first rivers to start to drop and a few fish could sneak in.
