i do believe that would be the siuslaw/lake creek system. i don't know much about that area but i know for a fact a few people here do.

Drive over to whitaker creek and fish that. ( its on the way to florence before the gingerbread house) there are big signs and you can find it on the web. Just dont use my spelling it sucks.
It gets a few people there so go early. My advice is pick a river and learn every spot on it. It may take a year or two but if you can find less crowded holes, private property, or learn the bottom, you will catch a lot more fish.
I used to live in springfield and i caught a lot of fish right behind roaring rapids pizza. There is a big park across river from it and you can fish all of that without more than 5 other fisherman being there. Good luck!

The two systems I would recommend for winter steelhead that are around an hour away or less is the lower Umpqua around Elkton down to Scottsburg and the Siuslaw/Lake Creek system. There is a ton of bank access and if your timing is right there will be a ton of fish also.

Yup, I'm also in Spfd off Centennial and I can make it from my door step to Lake Cr in an hour. I can make it to Whitaker and Wildcat in less, but the crowds are normally thick at Whitaker.
