Steelhead or Skamania's

[GLF]

While cleaning our fish today, the steelhead had two different colors of meat. Is there a way to tell the difference between a steelhead and a skamania by the color of the meat? Or is this caused by a lack of proper nutrients?

A skamania is a steelhead.

Most likely the fish w/ the pale meat was a dropback that spawned this spring.

There is no way to distinguish the steelhead strain by the color of the meat, only a scale sample is definitive.
