OR Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff

Decent numbers of cutthroat trout have been seen and reported in the Kilchis, but getting bites has been challenging; probably due to the low, clear water.

Trout fishing in streams remains open through Oct. 31. Check the regulations for open areas and bait restrictions.
