@@adamwiech4874 the term ‘Steelhead’ should only be used to refer only to Anadromous Rainbows. If they don’t run to the ocean, they’re adfluvial and not Steelhead. Also, many Coastal Rainbows, despite being genetically identical to and occuring in the same rivers as Steelhead, remain residents and never make their journey to the salt. This is an important distinction to make since actual Steelhead populations have declined so rapidly in the last 50 years. So to make it easy, the only thing we should be calling Steelhead are Sea Run Rainbows occuring from Baja to Alaska, and Kamchatka.
@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures look up ‘smoltification’ the rainbows you catch are a far cry from actual Pacific Steelhead. calling great lakes rainbows Steelhead only causes confusion and detracts the much needed attention away from those actual west coast fish which deserve tenfold the conservation and recognition vs your transplanted non natives. if you cared at all about being correct and promoting conservation instead of sounding cool you’d call them what they are: lake run Coastal or Kamloops strain Rainbows.
Nice tank Steelhead 👍👍 No Skunkin for one of you's at least 😄 thanks for the shoutout
Awesome job guys!🎣
Thank you so much! We had a great time.

No thats a steelhead ,, same species , one's just native in the creek the other comes from the lake to the rivers to spawn .
