We have sea run rainbows here. Nobody calls them Steelhead.

Is there a difference? Do they look different?

First loop connectors vs. nail knots, now "what is a steelhead."

Oh, if it were only an election year...

Lionel, the fisheries folks next door to you in Nova Scotia seem to call

My guess is that it is just "local flavor" that causes naming differences.
Sort of like brook trout/speckled trout/specks, etc.
