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

Is there a difference? Do they look different?

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



What is resident rainbow in a anadronymous waterway then? A rainbow
that could go out to ocean but doesnt?

It has been noted by various men and women throughout history that the
noblest goal to which one can aspire is to be useful. That is to say, to be
of service.....to fill a void, as it were.

Have you ever considered emigration?

Anadromous = Migrating from the sea to fresh water to spawn.

Therefore, an anadromous rainbow is a steelhead.

If it don´t, then it ain´t.

Actually, it's a steelhead that could go out to ocean but doesn't.

The common names are great sources of confusion; they only reflect
different "life forms," different "life history traits" of the species,
and these are far from immutable.

From the evolutionary perspective, a rainbow *is* a resident steelhead,
in the sense that the anadromous life form came first. Some populations
have become landlocked over time, due to geological changes. Others are
not physically landlocked, but although they have access to the sea,
they don't go. It is not unknown--where there are both resident and
anadromous populations of O. mykiss in the same river--for the offspring
of "steelhead" to remain resident and offspring of resident fish to
smolt and migrate to sea.

Sounds like a country-mouse/city-mouse kinda thing. Or maybe that old
Gloria Steinham adage that "all men are potential rapists". All
rainbows are potential steelhead.

NZ rainbows were originally Russian River of California Steelhead.

One of the most instructive parables of all time. It cannot be an accident
that virtually all cultures have some sort of analog of it. And it cannot
but be disheartening that its persistence bespeaks the sad truth that the
lesson needs to be taught over and over and over.........

Or maybe that old
Gloria Steinham adage that "all men are potential rapists".

And she was right, all men ARE potential rapists......um, in
theory......well, if you apply the right theory......and definition.

All rainbows are potential steelhead.

Exactly.....well, in the same sense that all girls born in the United States
(and/or of parents who are United States citizens) are potential presidents.

I'd bet a shiny new nickel on the proposition that she's heard THAT one
before.
