  Except of course for the coloration on the inside of their mouths. I believe it is the Steelhead who has the greyish color while the Rainbows typically have a white ...more mouth.

  @peacock_bass_pro They most certainly do. That is a male fish above, both rainbows and steelhead males look the same while spawning. Keep in mind, rainbows and steelhead ...more are the same fish

  Steel head rainbows don't shave that same type of head

  If it's a migratory fish, it's a Steelhead. If it was born and lived in the river, it's a Rainbow.same fish either way, O

  It depends. Is it a migratory fish from the Great Lakes that comes and goes annually? Or is it in the river/creek it entire life?
