	Trout Basics
		Trout are cold-blooded beings and unlike humans, their body temperature varies and is directly related to the surrounding environment.
		Like the brown trout, their optimum water temperature is around 50 to 60 degrees but it can also tolerate temperatures up to and exceeding 70 degrees as long as there is plenty of oxygen and a cool place to retreat to once in awhile.
		Steelhead trout (or “steelies”) are simply rainbow trout that have access to the ocean or larger lakes (like the Great Lakes).

		Steelhead trout, spring chinook salmon, and rainbow trout.
		Steelhead trout and salmon are both members of the salmon family and are "anadromous" (fish that migrate from fresh water to the ocean and then back to fresh water as adults).
		The steelhead spawning season is in the spring, generally each Tuesday from early February to the middle of May. Spring chinook salmon spawning season is in the late summer, completed in a short time from middle August into early September.

		Steelhead trout are anadromous fish, which means they begin life in freshwater, rear in streams, and then migrate to the ocean where they spend anywhere from 1 to 5 years and finally return to their “home stream” to spawn and complete the cycle.
		Resident rainbow trout are the non-migratory form of steelhead, opting to remain in freshwater for their entire life.
		Many "trout" that people see during the summer in San Luis Obispo Creek are actually juvenile steelhead that have not yet gone to the ocean.

		DESCRIPTION: Steelhead are sea-run rainbow trout that have large mouths with well-developed teeth on both upper and lower jaws, the head and shaft of the vomer, the palatines, and on the tongue.
		Steelhead in general are known to have well-developed homing abilities (Moyle 1976), although it has been suggested that southern steelhead commonly stray from their natal streams (Higgins 1991).
		Steelhead have been caught in the lower Tijuana River, bordering Mexico (Hubbs 1946), and runs are known to have occurred historically in Baja California streams (Barnhart 1986).

	Southern Steelhead Trout
		Steelhead can be considered an umbrella species for the recovery of coastal streams and the restoration of beaches and creeks from water pollution.
		Part of the improved habitat for steelhead is re-establishment of canopy trees to shade the creeks; this also provides habitat for terrestrial animals, and open space available to the public.
		Some young Southern Steelhead may remain as local resident fish and spend their entire life in freshwater, and may spawn in subsequent years with other resident fish or with ocean-run fish, creating offspring that likewise could become anadromous or remain in fresh water.

		Rainbows are distinguished from their cousins, the cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki) by their short maxilla, which reaches to, but not past the rear margin of the eye.
