I have asked, at a number of the Pacific Coast Steelhead Management Meetings, for a single data set of wild steelhead where the R/S averaged greater than 1.0. Nobody from AK, BC, WA, OR, or CA could provide data from a single stock.

So, while as Curt says, further north repeats are a larger fraction, they re required everywhere. Some data showed that CA and OR, along with BC and AK, had fairly good numbers of repeats it was WA that had them in low single percentages. An artifact of fishing methods and locations?
