Ok, I have one thing to comment on, and that is a hatchery hen spitting eggs, even if it's chrome...I've caught SEVERAL hatchery fish this year, just like, less than a mile from salt, chrome bright, with several sea lice on them, that were loose egged, and spitting... The hatchery fish for some reason tend to not hold their eggs very well...Now on the other hand, I've caught hundreds of fish that had nice eggs, but still, it does happen... My experience with steelhead, is that if it doesn't look sick, and isn't like, grey?! then it is probably ok! I would never even consider keeping a fish that has fungus on it! GROSS!! =) I don't have much experience with the kings though...
