It’s interesting that people call these rainbows. These fish are the exact same strain of steelhead that were stocked in the great lakes

Interesting. I heard different, can you substantiate that ? I would love to see it. Also, many people would argue with the fact that those aren't true steelhead either as they do not go to the ocean. I don't care either way lol I love catching giant rainbow/steelhead whatever they are called and wherever they are from haha

@@wildfishwildplaces5079 I could argue the logistic of Steelhead vs Rainbows with west coast guys all day and not get anywhere. The Great Lakes are inland seas and a Steelhead is migratory as where a rainbow stays put in the stream.
“One of the wildest stories in trout propagation began in Argentina in 1994 when estancia owner Alberto Rodriguez released rainbow trout from the Rio Santa Cruz into the Rio Barrancoso. His goal at the time was aquaculture. He wanted to farm fish. This strain of McCloud River rainbow trout had already been successfully transplanted around the world, and the Barrancoso was the largest tributary of Lago Strobel, an alkaline desert sink with no outflow, acres of weed beds, and no native salmonids of any kind. “ it wasn’t just rainbows they took from the Mcloud. The Santa Cruz boast a Steelhead run from the same Mccloud river and also I read years back the Chambers Creek Hatchery fish were once stocked in the Santa Cruz but could not find the link for that. It just stands to reason the fish in Lake Stroebel carry steelhead dna. The looks of some of these fish look real Steely you have to admit. Either way great content as usual and what a fishery!!!!! Tight lines!
