What do you think Steelhead smolt are. They are rainbow trout. Steelhead smolt can become resident rainbows and resident rainbows can migrate out to sea and come back as steelhead. So they are the studies you are looking for.

Oh contrair monfrair, Steelhead were reclasified as salmon several years ago. They are now under the name:
(Oncorhynchus Mykiss) Instead of the previous (Salmo Gairdneri) Some books still list them as Salmo Gairdneri but they are wrong. I am not sure but I think cutthroat trout have alson been reclassified as salmon (Oncorhychus Clarki Clarki) Instead of the previous (Salmo Clarki Clarki)
