The Kilchis is a mostly wild steelhead river (catch-and-release only for wilds) and as such the run peaks January through March. Steelhead should be in the river, and the Kilchis is in good shape as of this writing. All wild steelhead must be released unharmed. Avoiding long fights and handling will reduce stress on released fish.
