Cutthroat are available throughout the river. Sea-run cutthroat fishing should be decent as fish are dispersed throughout rivers at this point.
There could be some Fall Chinook moving into the lower Kilchis River on this week's rain, but the river didn't come up all that much. The Kilchis is known for later returning Chinook; so numbers will probably be low early on.
Due to a below average forecast the bag limits for wild Chinook salmon have been reduced. See the Regulation Updates section above for details.
