I know that the North is open for trout and the South is not. Just want to make sure I am following the regs.
Welcome to the forum. We'll look forward to your reports n' pics.
One thing though...unless I am misreading the reg book...the North Santiam, is NOT open for trout fishing, until April 26th (above Big Cliff / Detroit reservoirs). And from Big Cliff's dam, and downstream to the main stem, does not open until May 24th. (page 57, of the 2014 reg book)
Good luck, and tight lines.
P.S. In case you were asking about the Little North Fork; it also is not open for trout until May 24th.
