Stihlhead,

Questions:

1) Maybe, but that's not a judgement I care to make.

2) No. Most hatchery winter steelhead have spawned by now, or will be shortly. And summer steelhead would be spawning about now and through March.

3) If a summer and winter steelhead spawn together, the "kid" steelhead will return in the summer, or winter, or spring, or fall. Darn kids, they don't always follow instructions.

4) I don't understand your question. If you are asking why a summer run and winter run are spawning in the same place, perhaps it's because they were stocked in the same place as smolts.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
