October 2025 Meeting: Beginning the journey: Fly fishing for steelhead in Idaho

It’s almost steelhead season!   Jason Fearheiley will be talking to us about all things steelhead.  If you’ve been curious about how to get started fishing for these awesome fish, this presentation is for you!

Jason is from Pueblo, Colorado and has been fly fishing since grade school. He purchased his first fly rod from a local fly shop on layaway. He graduated from Colorado State University in 2006 with a fisheries biology degree. He has years of trout experience working at Colorado Parks and Wildlife with some experience with Idaho Fish and Game.  Jason also works at Anglers Fly Shop when extra help is needed.

Jason and his wife Hillary moved to Idaho in 2015 and have fallen in love with the Idaho steelhead. Since in Idaho, they have learned to row and explore local water with their drift boat or rafts.. They have also started working on endeavors with spey casting.

The equipment sales table will be open for our October meeting! It’s a fantastic opportunity to find top-notch equipment at affordable prices, or if you’ve got some extra fishing gear you can sell it here. Cash or Venmo are the preferred payment methods.

Please note! Our presentations begin at 7pm.  We arrive at IDFG at 6:30pm to open up the building for social time, raffle tickets, merch/sale table shopping, and give folks time to settle in their seats from 6:30-7pm.  If you arrive prior to 6:30pm, the building will likely not be open.
