Do you now belive that Rainbows and Steelhead are both classified as O. Mykiss (actually they are the same just one stays in freshwater and one goes to the ocean)and therefore the hooking mortality on Rainbows is relivent?

RAINBOW TROUT AND STEELHEAD ARE NOT THE SAME! THAT IS NOW A SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN FACT. They are not both Oncorhnchus Mykiss. Rainbow trout are Salmo Gairdneri all trout start with Salmo except for Chars they start with Salvelinus, all salmon start with Oncorhychus.
