The Kilchis River Fish-Along 2008 PDF Print E-mail
Contributed by Kevin Brooks   
Thursday, 06 November 2008

Update: The fish-along is on!  At this point things look good with no rain and ~60 degree temps in the forecast. Given the fact that the Kilchis is a relatively short river we expect to see excellent conditions by Saturday. 

When: Saturday 15th Nov. 8: AM
Where: Kilchis River
Fish: Chum Salmon


Directions: To get to the November Fish-A-Long on the Kilchis River take Hwy. 26 out of Portland. After passing North Plains take State Hwy 8 to the coastal town of Tillamook. Take a right onto Hwy 101 and head north. About 1 mile past the Cheese Factory take a right onto the Kilchis River Road. Head east approx. 3 miles, where everyone will meet at the logging bridge (there's a parking lot on the other side of the bridge). Allow approx. 2 1/2 hours travel time depending on driving conditions.

Breakfast/Lunch Provided: No.  Bring your own breakfast lunch and drinks.

Gear Requirements:

Rod/Line: 7 to 10wt rod with a matching reel (hopefully with a good drag, you'll need it) with at least 50yds of backing.
Floating and sink-tip lines.

Leaders: 6 to 10ft of 10 to 12lb Maxima. Chums aren't leader shy. They also have BIG teeth, hence their nick name "Dog Salmon."

Other: Waders and a wading staff

Flies: Chums can be caught on a variety of patterns (google for "chum salmon flies") depending on the water conditions. Two favorite colors are chartreuse and cerise but pink and black can also useful. Sizes should range from 2 to 8.
