Come on guys!

Steelhead continues to feed as long as they are alive! That's why they may spawn numerous times during there life cycle before they finally die.

Spawning is a big event in there life's cycle, and many don't make it the second time around. But they do keep eating, and they will go back to sea and feed heavily during this rerun process if they were not weakening too much during there spawning process.

There are several biologists on this board that can explain it even better!
