The Kilchis River (up to Tilden Bluff Road Bridge) opened to fall Chinook fishing on Aug. 1. There are some fish in tidewater and after this week's freshet there should be some pushing into the river as well.
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.
A catch-and-release fishery for chum salmon is allowed on the Kilchis River through Nov. 15. There should be chum in the river following this freshet. Anglers are reminded to use good ethics while enjoying this opportunity; avoid snagging in pools with lots of fish by fishing suspended presentations, and avoid disturbing redds (spawning nest) and fish that are actively spawning.
Cutthroat trout fishing closed Nov. 1.
