Fishing for cutthroat trout should be fair to good throughout the river.
The Kilchis River (up to Tilden Bluff Road Bridge) opened to fall Chinook fishing on Aug. 1. There should be some fish in tidewater portions of the river but it will take some significant rainfall before they move upriver in any decent numbers.
The adult wild Chinook daily bag limit for all Tillamook Rivers (Tillamook River and Bay, Kilchis River, Miami River, Wison River, and Trask River) is one fish in aggregate. No more than two adult wild Chinook salmon may be retained for the period in aggregate. See the regulation updates for more details.
Cutthroat trout fishing is still open through Oct. 31 and there are resident and sea-run cutthroat throughout the fishery.
