Pookiebar I'm not sure that the steelhead have the right digestive enzymes once they get up here to actually process the eggs. The steelhead can go until may without eating because they bulk up on food sources in the ocean to help the last until may. Every notice how a steelhead from sept/oct timeframe looks noticably different than the skinny skanky looking fish you see those guys catch up by stanley in the spring? Its because they've been living off of their own bodies.
