James Benfiet
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.
The winter steelhead run typically peaks from late December through February, with fish averaging 8-15 lbs and some trophies pushing past 20. The Clearwater's clear waters make it ideal for both boat and bank anglers, with techniques ranging from float fishing to swinging flies.
This isn't just a great spot for a fishing expo — it's the epicenter of steelhead fishing on the West Coast. Fish in the morning, attend the show in the afternoon. No other event puts you this close to world-class water.
