Thanks for the great reply salmo. I've studied 3 different spawning streams for the past few years and have only seen 2 steelhead ever which was last april, but see hundreds of salmon. Always wondered why I don't come across more. I've never seen steelhead spawn in the mainstem of a stream although they probably do, but pinks and chums can spawn from the headwaters to tidewater. To bad all the species that feed in fresh water(steelhead, dollies, & cutts) can't be as plentiful as the species that don't. It's not fair.
