Animal Description

About the Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss spp.)

The Steelhead is a coastal subspecies of the Rainbow trout in that it migrates from the ocean to freshwater tributaries to spawn. However, steelhead in the Great Lakes does not migrate to and from the ocean but rather from the Great lakes up small feeder tributaries to spawn. Because Steelhead is a subspecies of Rainbow trout, they appear very similar to them in nature, although they often have larger spots on their dorsal side. This fish has become a fishing sensation for recreational anglers and especially fly fishers targeting large trout species. This fish can grow up to 45 inches and weigh upwards of 60 lbs.
