Looking to maybe hit up the n santiam in the next couple weeks and was wondering what fish to target and what locations may bring success? Thanks for any of the info you can give me.

Trout fishing is closed. I would check the regs as to what is open as I think only steelhead is.
 
Steelhead is open year round on the n santiam.

Is the north santiam a good river for winter steelhead?
 
The north gets a small native steelhead run in the winter and you only can retain natives July through August.

Caught a 30 inch hatchery hen on 13 January. Water is really cold so steelhead are not aggressive but they are out there. Look for good holding water and cover it thoroughly.
