The Kilchis is a mostly wild steelhead river with no hatchery releases, but there is plenty of catch-and-release opportunity and the occasional stray hatchery fish shows up. There are a few wild steelhead showing up on North Coast basins already and with a major high-water event hitting the North Coast there should be some more around as the rivers drop. The Kilchis is usually one of the first rivers to come back in shape after in the Tillamook area and could be fishable by early next week
