The Kilchis is a mostly wild steelhead river (catch-and-release only for wilds) and as such the run peaks January through March, but there are still fish around well into April. The Kilchis is low as of this writing but could be in good shape early next week after the rains. There are steelhead throughout system. All wild steelhead must be released unharmed. Avoiding long fights and handling will reduce stress on released fish.
