Default Where to find late winter steelhead??
I'm not looking for any deep dark secrets so zipperlip if you like. But which rivers have good returns of winter steelhead in March and April? I know most people will be concentrating on springers but I would like to extend this winter steelhead season if I could. Thanks in advance.

Santiam is good almost all year because the summers will start to trickle in right behind the winters
