Favorite trout spot on north Santiam

Mill City hole under the old railroad bridge, Very beautiful natives
Mill City Bridge is a very nice hole, my buddy caught a 26lb clipped chinook earlier this year from under the railroad bridge.
Another good spot is in (or pretty close to) Gates, I am unsure of the exact location (a friend showed me this spot), and it is a spot where you have to park and walk down this dirt hill that is a little steep at the beginning, then you arrive to an area on the Santiam that is just a huge whirlpool and you would be standing on a rock formation which the river cuts through and also flows around the other side, it would not be a pretty place to fall into. I haven't got around to getting my salmon/steelhead tag this year so I never flipped any gear out for bigger fish in this spot, I would like to know if anyone else knows what spot im talking about.

Bad Doggy!
Bad Doggy!
Your doggy musta needed some fiber in his/her diet, eh?
The N. Santiam is open for FIN CLIPPED trout, from May 23 - Oct. 31. Only 2 trout per day bag limit.
If that OFF fellow is fishing for trout...it looks like he's not legal!:naughty:
Better wait until may, unless your after steelies.
[U]IMPORTANT NOTE[/U]: the reg book DOES say trout season OPENS on MAY 23rd, and NOT May 22nd like it is for other streams. This may be a typo, so you may want to call ODFW to be certain.
