the heart of steelhead fishing

We hold Steelhead Expo in the town of Lewiston, ID. Lewiston sits at the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers, arguably one of the most productive winter steelhead fisheries in the Pacific Northwest.

The confluence of the two rivers serves as a critical junction for steelhead making their way back from the ocean. Every January, steelhead push into the Clearwater system in huge numbers, making it a prime time to make an epic catch!
