Fishing for cutthroat trout should be fair to good throughout the river. No bait is allowed upstream of tidewater May 22-Aug. 31.

The Kilchis River (up to Tilden Bluff Road Bridge) is opened to fall Chinook angling on Aug. 1 to Nov. 30 by regulation, but realistically there won't be any salmon in the Kilchis until September or October depending on when we get rain this fall.

The adult wild Chinook daily bag limit for all Tillamook Rivers (Tillamook River and Bay, Kilchis River, Miami River, Wison River, and Trask River) is one fish in aggregate. No more than two adult wild Chinook salmon may be retained for the period in aggregate. See the regulation updates for more details.

Repairs are being made on the Mapes Creek boat launch (logging bridge) and it's not usable at this time. The repairs will be completed by Sept. 15 at the absolute latest. Personal watercraft can still be launched from the gravel bar.
