well , i am feeling good about this thread now ! seeing all the different strains ...... i think the more we learn the more we realize we don't know ...... but thats what makes fishing fun .......
What don't you Know? you can tell by just looking at the fish what they are.Somebody tell me when a spring spawner Drops eggs in October?Now here is a Spring spawning Female Washington Steelhead I caught 5 weeks later. :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:What's this WE stuff? :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:
exactly what i think has happened however what people are missing ...being a put and take fishery ,changes can be made rather quickly , another thing no one has mentioned theres 5 other lakes upstream and another country stocking just on the other shore line .... years ago i can rember the different fin clips between the US and canada .... i admitt i haven't stayed abreast to it all .... i still find the number of cross kings and cohos strange ...i honestly wonder if this occures in the wild of hatchery mishaps ....
