10lb maxima ultragreen is all you need in idaho unless you are fishing some pretty heavy water. I've landed hundreds of b-runs on the clearwater with 10lb maxima ultragreen and have never lost one due to the line breaking. 12 lb main line and a 10lb leader is perfect for drift fishing in Idaho, braid is sensitive but not necessary for drift fishing. Save the braid for float fishing and fishing divers and bait. Another tip for driftfishing steelhead is not to feel for the bite but look for the bite in your rod tip. When I sit back and watch people fish for steelhead drift fishing or sidedrifting I will see the bite happen in their rod tip long before they feel it
