Resident vs Anadromous Onchorynchus mykiss
« on: February 02, 2016, 06:39:16 PM »

Found this article below and thought it might peak the interest of those in the Rainbow trout vs Steelhead debate. One thing I found interesting was that in their study, there were more out migrating females than males. Just out of curiosity, in your experience have you guys noticed a higher female to male ratio of steelhead catches?

Interesting read and thanks for posting it.  A check of the entries in this years Wally Hall Memorial Derby hosted by Fred's Custom Tackle shows 3 times as many females captured (or perhaps more correctly, entered) to males. I suspect this percentage is also close to previous years entries.
