troller, I thing you may be getting steelhead and salmon runs mixed up.

There is are summer run steelhead, then there are the winter run steelhead. The winter runs are usually broken into 2 distinct categorties - hatchery brats and native fish. The hatcher fish come in the early winter and the native fish come later. This is why many or our rivers are closed after February the last few years - to protect the wild\native fish.

In the summer, the green gets some kings, then some silvers, then some chum - in that order - starting in Sept and ending in Dec.
