4/18/2011 12:54:00 PMActually there is a difference between rainbow trout and steelhead...as there is a difference between sockeye and kokanee...which is of course why they have different names. The difference being the same in both. One is a completely freshwater species, and one is an ocean going species. A steelhead is a rainbow trout that, like a salmon, spends the majority of its life out to sea and returns to freshwater to spawn. A kokanee is a landlocked sockeye that does not go to sea during any period of it's life....the fish in the picture above are of course a rainbow trout and a kokanee.

4/22/2011 7:26:00 AMditto on bellboy, one is stocked, and one has been there a while longer.
there is no kokes in steilacoom, the water is only 20' deep and warm.
Also there is a dam in between the sound and that lake with some spawning ground right? there is no way a steel could get there.
the only thing close would be some bows running up stream from the lake to do some spawning, still just rainbows though.
Been there the past two days, got 2 18" and 2 16" rains and a number of small hatch and last year fish
