Hmmm....Good Question. I'd have to say that if the fish has red on it and is green on the back this time of the year through December it is a summer run. But this brings up another question. Durring February-April when the steelhead spawn and are in their spawning colors, which are the winter runs and wich are the summer runs? Both spawn at the same time right? So wouldn't they all be the same color?

Surecatch: This is not part of the topic but, it says your from "West Duvall." Where exactly are you talking about because I used to live there a couple years ago and the only thing west of there is the valley, unless you live in the valley or the hills accrosed from the town.
