In the 40th Anniversary Collectors Edition of the Salmon Trout Steelheader mag, this article on page 24, talks about the research done at the University of California Davis have learned that altering the enviroment of hatchery-raised steelhead can impact how the fish develop, and may even result in brainier steelhead. I have fished the Kitimat River for years and have never to my knowledge mever ever hooked a hatchery steelhead, at least one with a dorsel fin removed. Smarter steelhead makes sence to me. I would say that the hatchery steelhead are smarter then the wild steelhead, if the hatchery steelhead will not take my fly. ( Big Red )

For those of you that were interested in the Steelhead Porn pics, I downloaded a couple of pictures and added them to the Speak Out Page, so check them out. What river were they caught in? ( Big Red )

I also noticed the coloured fish at Spey Claves. Their size looks fine by me but the colour??? I think they have been photoshopped and all fish are not the bright chrome jumpers I like to hook in fall.

I must add that it is my opinion that the steelhead in question were not caught on a fly rod, and the location they were caught in is not such a secret among locals. Locals do not usually target steelhead in the earea where they have schooled up in their spawning beds, its kind of like fishing in a fish farm, but maybe these guys can't hook fish any other way.

RIGHT YOU ARE ANDY, THERE ARE PEOPLE FISHING THESE RIVERS COMING FROM OTHER STATES AND PROVINCES THAT ARE ILLIGAL GUIDING, SOME HAVE EVEN KILLED STEELHEAD, WHEN FISHING IN A STRICTLY CATCH AND RELEASE RIVER. IN THE LATE FALL IN THE UPER REACHES OF SOME RIVERS STEELHEAD START TO STACK UP, AND ARE EASY TO CATCH. MAYBE THE STINK OVER THESE DISPLAYED STEELHEAD, WAS MORE TO DO WITH PEOPLE WANTING TO GO THERE ALSO. I KNOW OF THESE PLACES BUT WOULD RATHER NOT. IF I WERE THAT TYPE OF FLY FISHER I WOULD BE FISHING IN FISH FARMS. ( BIG RED )

Hey Big Red, I think your guess on the river system was right on! However I would not disclose the river so the people that make their living on it can share it with family and guest that come to visit the area! Big Andy
