So the Winter run is on and looks like a good start. I'm going to try to go as often as possible and I have some extra room if someone wants to chip in on some gas. I live in St. Helens area and it's about an hour drive to the creek. Anyone interested?

Wait for the rain to come... Its droping fast right now... I would stick to the nf nehalem or other coastal rivers until the rain comes again..
Tight lines good luck..

I have to start work at Mt. Hood Meadows soon and will be switching to the Sandy during the winter season, don't know how many chances Ill have for Big Creek so Ill take every day I can. I know some spots they hold up in during low water conditions, and if anything Ill hit the Columbia near by.
If anyone wants to go let me know!

If your up by Mt hood I I've heard good things about the salmon river up in Welches area. I haven't fished it yet but I know a few locals up there that say good things about it.
