Steelhead trout are the anadromous form of rainbow trout. Rainbow trout can remain in freshwater their entire lives, or they can migrate to the ocean and then return to freshwater to spawn. These ocean-bound migrating fish are known as steelhead trout. The offspring of two steelhead parents may become a purely freshwater form of rainbow trout, while the offspring of two resident freshwater rainbow trout might evolve into an anadromous steelhead trout.

Did you know Cary that the offspring of two steelhead fishers can become anadromous and migrate to the Pacific Northwest every Fall to chase these beautiful creatures? It can become a lifestyle.
Would love to go out there and chase those beautiful creatures! For now we have one more trip to mammoth lakes before the season ends! Excited for that. 😁
