Well to be honest it doesn't surprise me that he didn't know what a steelhead is but if you want really bad try the fellow I met fishing one time they tried to convince me salmon are only in Alaska and Canada. by the way sent me a Pm sometime maybe we can hook up and go fishing together I'm going to be in the Seattle area for the next week or so (Des Moines if you want to be more exact ) army now always looking for another fishing partner especially one around the same age.
