I caught a summer steelhead last weekend that had a big red stripe. Six months from now in May, the summer runs will be bright, dark green on top with silver sides, white belly, and a hint of pink on the cheeks. Right now, in November, the fresh winter runs will look this way and have silver sides, dark back, and rosy cheeks.

Look at the following link for pics.
