Biologist Danny Swainson says steelhead on the west coast have so many nutrients available to them once they hit the ocean that they can grow to 15 pounds in three or four years. But something is happening to them once they enter salt water and it is frightening. Are steelhead different from the rainbow trout in the rivers? What are the survival bottlenecks they are encountering in the ocean? How many adults are returning these days to spawn? What are tracking studies telling us? And how bleak is the future of the fishery? Hold onto your hats folks as British Columbia Conservation Foundation steelhead specialist, Danny Swainson explains if we'll be fishing for steelhead in the years to come.
