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

Is there a difference? Do they look different?

A Rainbow is a landlocked Steelhead...;-))


California considers a rainbow in the ocean connected river a rainbow if
less than 24". Steelhead if over 24"



You are wrong. I have a california steelhead report card and its 16
inches not 24 inches. And california does NOT *consider that* a
steelhead. It just considers it for reporting issues.

Me bad. they do consider it a steel head in anadromous waters.
Section `174 of the regs.



For

purposes of this regulation, a steelhead trout is defined as any rainbow
trout greater

than 16 inches in length found in anadromous waters.
