Cutthroat are available throughout the river. Sea-run cutthroat fishing should be decent as fish are dispersed throughout rivers at this point. Last updated 9/27/23.‌

There should be a few Fall Chinook in the lower Kilchis Riverafter last weeks rain, and probably a few more on the way if we weather forecast for next week is correct. The Kilchis is known for later returning Chinook; so numbers will probably be low despite the rain.
