I caught a nice little hatchery hen on the umatilla R. in oregon today that was full of some sort of bug and also whole salmon eggs .All of this is perplexing . I was taught that steelhead only bite the eggs to break them and they dont eat till after they spawn. I thought I would get some good eggs instead her gut was full. great fight to jumped several times fought like a september fish.I have caught 2 or 300 steelhead in my time and have not noticed this befor.
