My bad, for some reason thought you meant the opposite.

That is what I said. In the streams till spawning. After 45 degrees they spawn, then leave for the lake till next fall when the streams cool down at night from summer high temperatures.The salmon return for their spawning and the rainbows are with them.

Winter and early spring steelhead almost never see water above 40 degrees and will spawn.

My bad too, for some reason I thought you said feeding for rainbows shut down in February......

I believe that their bodies were bloated with eggs and milt. There is no room for food then. As soon as they spawn they go back on the feed and head to the lake.

 Got this guy hooked on trib fishing today!  Case in point, both times l took him water was high and muddy and only browns would bite. Steelhead were non existent but browns kept us playing. Also, reinforces my point that browns are a 12 month fish. Boat photo was his first lake fish, also a brown!
