The Kilchis River opened to trout fishing on May 22nd. There should be resident coastal cutthroat trout throughout the basin and the Kilchis has plenty of public access off Kilchis Forest Road. Sea-run cutthroat should start showing up in the rivers through the month of July. Concentrate on deep pools with cover, and you should find success. Many areas have bait restrictions in place so check the regulations for those and open areas before heading out.
