Hope I'm not posting out of turn here. I used to think the same but emailed ODFW last year to make sure, and they said neither Crabtree or Thomas Creek were covered by the South Santiam:
"No they are not governed by the rules of the Santiam, since they are not
listed under any special regulations you need to refer to page 48 and
use the general regulations for the Willamette Zone. No you can not fish
Steelhead or Salmon in those creeks."
Hope this helps.
TTFishon and anyone else I upset yesterday;
I apologize if I offended anyone by accusing you of jumping down boomer's throat for posting directions to a fishy body of water. However,you should know I still believe anyone has the right to post the information whether or not it is agreeable to the masses.
