I am still looking. I still have'nt found a study on hooking mortality of wild steelhead fry or smolts. Plenty on trout.

Contrary to popular belief my prefered fishing method is not eggs, though for silvers eggs come a close second. For steelhead I still prefer drift bobbers of various sorts and jigs. Ah heck! I'll use anything them suckers will bite! But I dont Like to be told how to fish, and I dont like it when a specific group of fishermen is singled out. Except for netters BAN ALL NETS! That will bring the fish back. There is plenty of studies that prove that!
