So could the nutrients from all those eggs help to carry those fish through the spawn in the spring? I am just wondering how a steelhead that hits fresh water in the fall, goes until May without eating anything?
It would be an interesting study to take an early fall steelhead, put it in a holding tank and feed it nothing, and see how long the thing keeps kicking. I am not proposing this to argue, but because I am genuinley curious how they do it.
