I had an interesting chat last night and during it I was told of the capture of a fish in Hampshire that is believed to be a female steelhead. The stream in which the fish was caught is regularly stocked with rainbows and in recent years some small rainbows have been caught with markings that appeared to be parr markings. During the last weekend a fish that could well be a steelhead was caught. At the moment its identity has not been difinitely confirmed but the anglers involved are very experienced anglers one of whom has caught steelheads when fishing abroad. As soon as there is a judgement on what the fish is I will report back on it. Unfortunately at this stage I cannot reveal the water or the names of the anglers, but if the fish is what it is hoped to be all will be revealed in the near future.
