I was fortunate enough to have been raise in Central Idaho what is known as Idaho’s Heart Land and with good reason we have some of the best steelhead and salmon fishing in the state located within 20 minutes of home. I have lived here for over 50 years now and have had many memorable fishing adventures and thought I would be able to share some of what I have experience and learned over the years. I hope you enjoy these articles and if you have something you would like to know about you can email me at rrsmith1@steelhead-gear.com and I will do my best to answer your questions or will do some research for an answer to your questions.
