Well done ! Beautiful fish

Noticed it releasing a few remaining eggs in the pic where it’s being held. Good catch though.

Does that necessarily mean that it's a fish that is capable of reproduction? I've caught lots of steelhead that dump their eggs on Erie tribs, I just assumed they were sterile so it didn't matter.

I assume it was just stocked two weeks ago.

Most likely was, although some of its fins look a bit healed over and other fins look pretty good for a recently stocked fish. Even if it was used as a brood fish in the hatchery in recent weeks, some eggs would remain and that’s what I likely spotted in the pic. It looks like a spent fish (recently stripped of eggs in the hatchery), but clearly a few eggs remained.

A beauty.

Sorry, #8 referred to #5’s comment, not #1’s.

Nice fish and wonderful coloration, especially on the gill cover.
