The bulk of the Fall/Winter Salmon/Steelhead runs, are found in Coastal Streams. These fish are larger than, our Spring/Summer runs (which occur mostly, in our Willamette Valley streams). So, I'd suggest living in the Valley (Portland, Salem, Eugene). Such a location, will put you into relatively close proximity--to year 'round fishing for Nooks, Ho's, and Steel. IF that's what you primarily want to target. There's also plenty of great hunting, in the Coast Range; as well as in the Cascade Mountains.
