The only thing ive ever found in a steelhead was a small sandshrimp somebody must have tossed in after fishing...

Im amazed at how steelhead will hammer our presentations and after cleaning them, find nothing! THis couldnt be the only time it tried to inhale something??

Im stil undecided when it comes to steelhead eating in freshwater. I think its mostly a positive "reaction" to whatever is wisked by there face. Not necessarily a need to "eat"????
