your being from Rexburg I would steer you more toward Salmon (the town), although the above mentioned locales would be great spots! Most people fish NorthFork outside Salmon downstream to the end of the road (about 35 miles) with the fishing seeming to usually pick up last week or two of October/early November. I like a medium action 8'6" rod an use 10lb or 12lb line for steelies in that area. If I was on the clearwater I would go 13-15lb test. For a good reel I like the cabelas tournament ZX, but would really like a steelhead sized pfueger president or supreme, either of which should handle them just fine.
