@@williamjones6481 let me try to explain again, rainbow trout can all potentially become steelhead as they are capable of being anadromous. Do they all migrate to the ocean? No because sometimes that due to biotic or abiotic factors.
@@robguyatt9602 There is a lot of research suggesting that if two steelhead spawn the fish will almost always be anadromous and if two rainbows spawn it will almost never be. Weird because the fish are genetically identical.
My uncle lived on a farm in Tillamook Oregon next to the oceam. They were a rocks throw from the ocean and had a river flowing from the ocean through the back of his farm property. I would go out their and fish occasionally with my brothet dad and uncle. This was the first time i learned what a steelhead was because it almost pulled me into the river and after about 20 minutes of fighting i pulled that big boy in but i never knew how they actually became classified as a steelhead other than they were bigger but this knowledge opened my eyes
They are called stealhead because they actually ram their head into female salmons sides when they are spawning and knock the eggs out of them and the stealhead eat the eggs.
What most people don't know? Not only can they go to saltwater and adapt, but they can return to freshwater and adapt back. And they can do this multiple times for several years.
I know we’d catch them when I was real little with my pops, but just targeted trout the other day through ice and got my first one in well over a decade. One of the most beautiful fish I’ve ever held, I’m already hooked

Yes , ALL Salmonids are 'on the rock' ~ mid way evolving , fresh to salt (salmons, trouts, charrs) Pink or humpback salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) being the most advanced in this process ~ they can barely go fresh, often spawning in tidal/estuaries , and their fry migrate to sea, barely fed !
Yeah, I had no clue. ““Scientists are still trying to figure out what causes this change. The transition between a Rainbow trout to a Steelhead trout cannot be reversed. Once a Rainbow trout enters the saltwater their bodies will change to adapt to the saltwater. When they return to the freshwater for spawning their bodies do not revert and remain as Steelhead trout” www.sacnaturecenter.net/visit-us/nature-blog/ask-a-naturalist-are-steelhead-trout-and-rainbow-trout-the-same-species/ So far all the sites I’ve been seeing have said the same thing. Pretty interesting.
In scotland our brown trout do that but we call them sea trout, although not all brown trout are sea trout and not all sea trout are brown trout, similar to a salmon, but they don't die and come back to fresh rivers
I heard Goldfish are REALLY sturgeon.... They just can't grow to size because they are usually kept in small glass jars limiting their ability to become well endowed... 🤓

Steelhead don't need to migrate to saltwater to be considered 'steelhead' many large lakes have populations of steelhead, they migrate from streams to lakes
Those are landlocked trout. I couldn't tell you specifics but the Great Lakes are large enough for trout to migrate back and forth from the main lakes to creeks and rivers akin to salmon spawning. They will end up doing this multiple times during their lives and will live as rainbow trout after they hatch and later become steelhead through the process of smoltification. Trout that don't live in the Great Lakes watershed or have access to the oceans will stay as resident rainbows, though I think I remember reading that not all will migrate even if they are able to. As far as I remember, all salmonoids undergo the same migration patterns in relation to the spawn.
Rainbow trout stay rainbow trout. A steelhead trout is already a steelhead at birth. Michigan is one of the top places to catch steelhead trout and there is no saltwater in michigan. Stop lying bro, your video is incorrect
Rainbow trout do not become steelhead. Steelhead are a different species of slamoniods. Rainbow trout remain in freshwater while steelhead only go to the ocean when they are big enough and return to spawn.
Steelhead aren't specifically saltwater there big bodys of water like saltwater or like the great lakes they also take on the steelhead appearance and are ligit the same as rainbow trout just differant colors
A steelhead is an andramous rainbow trout. Their is no difference in their genetics. Do you know what the latin name (the scientific name) of steelhead is? It's Oncorhynchus mykiss Do you what the name is for rainbow trout? Oncorhynchus mykiss... They're the same exact species.
All rainbow trout are capable of this feat. It really goes down to if the watershed they inhabit has access to the ocean 🐟
That's not necessarily true. There are rainbows and steelhead in the same watersheds.

Yes I did.
I’m about to go trout fishing for the first time!! They just stocked trout at my place
Good luck out there! You’re gonna love it!
delicious and fun to catch, love trout
If you ever get the chance, Ohio has some great steelhead fishing
Coastal trout waters are very interesting indeed.
I was fishing for steelhead this morning
Me too on the Alsea. No steelhead but, I did manage to get a little Coho.
Here in Ontario, some of the rainbow migrate to any of the Great Lakes (freshwater) and return as Steelhead.
That’s right!
Same species, just a different lifestyle eh.
Bow or Chrome doesn’t matter to me! I just love them both!♥️🔥🎣🇨🇦

Rainbows become Steelhead on that side of the pond, our native Brown Trout do the same on this side of the Atlantic and become Seatrout 🏴
Doesn’t have to be saltwater it can happen in large freshwater bodies of water too
They get crazy big in Southern California
Wow
There are also some brown trout that do that and they become searunner
So do cutthroat.
I think there are searun brook trout, too.

Awesome
It has evolved!!! 😂😊
Greetings from Germany
The brook trout also has a similar metamorphosis.
Brown trout and sea trout. Yes! Some (arctic) char also. And there are some strains of Atlantic salmon staying in fresh water (lakes)
I went fishing yesterday and I got a 2 pound rainbow trout
Where do you buy these
wow didn’t know that thanks
then sees my spawn bag an becomes dinner
😆😆😆😆 I still have some in my freezer that I need to cook up.
Not salt water

Come to superior and catch some big lakers we have the largest strain in the world called “ciscoettes”
❤
❤️❤️
They grow up in great like tributaries and then go to the Great Lake and then migrate back to the tributaries and spawn
Trout be evolving
Like pokemon 😆

Always wondered what qualities a steelhead had and how they became a steelhead
We have those in Southern California
Some people consider rainbows that migrate to lakes steelhead

This happens in great lakes. Its all fresh water.
Steelhead are a salmonoid and different species very closely related to rainbow trout but they are 2 separate species of fish
And a brown trout will become a sea trout 🐟
Today I saw a river that had a school of many different species of trout
Or freshwater lakes.
Did you know the browns do it too and come back as sea trout 😅
So then how are steelhead in freshwater lakes with now vessels to salt water 😮 yea
Salmo salar . Salmo trutta .
. Same gene pool but didnt know.... salmon yes ...
They dont have to have saltwater to become steelhead. Lake Michigan has steelhead
Fact. Bears eat beats ..
Saltwater or in the great lakes freshwater lakes

Only Salmon do that. Steel head will return multiple times to spawn, feed then return back again
@ na they don’t lol trout do it too not all of them
@@connorwilson8078 yeah, they do. The spawn several times in their life cycle. Salmon spawn once. Sea trout don't count.

Thats how you catch a trout
Wrong. Rainbows spend the entire life in freshwater and Steel head are anadromous, going from fresh to saltwater. Same species…different lifestyles.
Yeah, that’s literally what the video says 😂
There are also freshwater steelhead in a few places in the world the Great Lakes being one of them { scientifically the Great Lake steelhead }
@@AlwaysCatchingFish people just say that to make those guys over in michigan feel better about themselves
@@BigFlipz509 I’m not in Michigan and no biologically it’s a fact do some research !
Correct
So a steelhead is just a big rainbow trout but with a different name
Steelhead don't need to migrate to saltwater to be considered 'steelhead' many large lakes have populations of steelhead, they migrate from streams to lakes
WA state fish 🎣
My question is “who didn’t know this?”
I just want to catch 1
It doesn't take the ocean to make them into steelhead
They are called “Sea trouts”
No same phylum different sub phylum steel head go between just like salmon but rainbows stay freshwater
Soooo... the steelhead in Michigan come from where lmaooo
Kinda like a evolved Pokémon or no
The number of people who say that this short is factually incorrect and then repeat, almost word for word, what the narrator says, is mind boggling.
What about the rainbow trout in the Great Lakes “Lake Michigan” in Wisconsin you can fish the harbors in the cold and catch big steel head
That’s what was thinking here in Ohio we have the steelheads come out from Lake Erie into all the creeks and rivers
Those are landlocked trout. I couldn't tell you specifics but the Great Lakes are large enough for trout to migrate back and forth from the main lakes to creeks and rivers akin to salmon spawning.

Amazing brother population is coming back lil by lil
So do they completely change species ?
I'm not totally buying that rainbow and steelhead are exactly the same. They may be twins, but their tales have different shapes.
No I didn’t know that
This sounds like a lie how do they just change species there two different fish
Same species
Volors look different is that normal?
*shows the steel head trout*
My dumbass: that’s a salmon
Who DIDN'T know this? Seriously
Just call it a steelhead, not a steelhead trout
And that's when they become delicious
Yes indeed!
Hi family😀
Hello! Good morning!
Hi.Trout fishing on my channel.
Aka chastity spear head
Why is this dramatic ahh music playing
Bros switching his character
evolving like pokemom 😆
getting kicked out of the guild
I once tamed a rainbow pretty easy to do
Some will just migrate to bigger bodies of freshwater like the great lakes steelhead.
Salty trout anglers will
Make fun of trout anglers lol yall are catching hatchery trout still 😂
So they evolve ?
Not true because they don’t have the same spawn rate and Les capable of swimming mils up stream
The actual way to word this would be... Did you know this about Steelhead... Then go on to explain how they start as Rainbows.
Semantics and irrelevant. The information is unmistakably conveyed
I did not know that, thank you for telling me hopefully factual information lol

Woke trout be identifying as salmon
Except in Oregon. Any rainbow over 16 inches is considered a steelhead regardless of it going to the ocean or not.
Why don’t they stock trout in socal
No rainbow trout live in fresh water and stealhead trout live in both fresh water and saltwater
