RAINBOW? STEELHEAD?

Rainbows in New Zealand quickly learned to spawn in Oct-Nov when they used
to spawn in Apr-May

Don't know where this info came from, most rainbows in the North Island at
least, spawn May through August, with peak numbers in June and July
(mid-winter). It is true that spawning fish will come upriver in April in
some rivers, and fish will continue to spawn into Novenmber, but in far
fewer numbers than during the peak runs.

"Spawning in rainbow trout within New Zealand takes place in late autumn
and through the winter. "

may be a matter of semantics. by spawning I mean dig redds and lay eggs.
Steelhead typically enter streams in Jan & feb and spawn in MArch & April
(in Washington & british Columbia)

well the penny just dropped - autumn & winter as in April into July etc!
That mistake stuck in my head for a long time.

I can't fathom the water in the toilet bowl spinning in the opposite
direction either. LOL!
