Special Attractions
Indoor Steelhead River
Sponsored by:
See how fish react to various fishing techniques when experts cast their lines into the realistic drifts and tail-outs in the world’s only indoor Steelhead River, presented by Dick’s Sporting Goods, at the 38th annual Pacific Northwest Sportsmen’s Show®, Wednesday, February 6 through Sunday, February 10 at the Portland Expo Center.
The 10,000-gallon “river” closely replicates real river conditions, giving Sportsmen’s Show audiences hours of exciting and informative angling action. Top northwest guides and pro staff reps from several Northwest manufacturers will share tips for going after these fighting fish in natural conditions.
Expert anglers will showcase the latest tools and techniques as they don their waders for hourly on-the-water presentations. Presentations include Scott Haugen’s “Tributary Springer Tactics;” Cody Herman’s “Finding Fish in all Water Conditions;” Jack and Brandon Glass’ “What’s New in Float Fishing Techniques;” and others.

The 50-foot-long water feature simulates a natural river, with pools, rocks, stumps, riverbank and obstacles that force the two-foot-deep, clear current to flow in a realistic manner.
