jack steelhead?
Yes, they exist, as a small percentage of every run. Mother natures way of making sure some natural disaster doesn't wipe out a given generation of fish. Many folks will catch one and think it is just a trout...
regardless of scientific explanation basicly anyone who tries to call a fish under about 24 inches a steelhead looks like a tool... don't embarrass yourself amongst your peers by saying " yeah hooked up on a good one... but managed to land a jack steelhead'' its reaching, desperate... and really hurts your river cred-
" yeah hooked up on a good one... but managed to land a jack steelhead''
I think it's worth mwntioning just for the fact it's such a rarity.
I didn't say they were-Half-pounders aren't jacks.
Could be a stocker (if it's clipped) that never went out - I believe that happens, too.
The couple I've caught had dispropotionately large fins, FWIW.
Cool fish, regardless.
Speak of the devil! Was fishing with Dozer and he caught a jack summer today:
LOL
Are those the plaid shorts I spy there!!! Brrrrrrrrr.
