I tried doing research for this but nothing came up.... so what rivers around the sheridan area are best for springers?? I'm more than willingly to drive an hour in any direction but not too much more. How's the siletz? The nestucca? The wilson? I have already tried the salmon, the three rivers (no luck) and I'm going to try the north fork santiam river tomorrow around jefferson (read some good stuff about that area). I'm going to try bobber and eggs and drifting with yarns and corkies. I thrive on constructive criticism and suggestions.... plz help a newb fisherman

N.Santiam
The S.Santiam will have the biggest return, but also the most people..... But that may help you, just go and watch what everyone else is doing. Ask Q's, and learn from the locals.
In all honesty, I wouldnt fish the N.Santiam trying to catch your first Steelhead/Springer if you dont know what your doing. I firmly believe its the hardest river I've fished, to get into fish. There just isn't a lot of fish, and they are very stubborn biters. I can't tell you how many people I've heard of give up fishing becuase they tried to learn on the North.
That being said, I stick to my top 3. Trask, Nestucca and S.Santiam. The S.Santiam will have the biggest return, but also the most people..... But that may help you, just go and watch what everyone else is doing. Ask Q's, and learn from the locals.

Thank you so much for input... I had the most irratating time fish the north. I fished it for a few hours and nothing . This dude joins me and literally on his second cast he got a fin clipped steelie. He was using a pink and white jig and bobber
But the guy gave great advice... he taught me some stuff on jigs and drifting and spinners I look forward to trying... any part of the nestucca I should try?
