Steelhead

• The scientific name for Steelhead is Oncorynchus mykiss
• There are two different migratory types of steelhead – known as summer-run and winter-run.
• Summer-run steelhead return to the rivers between spring and fall before they become adults. They mature in the rivers and spawn during the following spring.
• Winter-run steelhead are adults when they return to the rivers, so spawn shortly after returning.
• Like salmon, steelhead are anadromous: they return to their original hatching ground to spawn.
• Summer run steelhead can be taken on dead drifted or by “skating” dry flies. This is considered to be the holy grail of steelhead fly fishing.
