Happy youngster holds up a whopping Trinity River adult steelhead in a photo likely from the 1980's. Pink on operculum and the square tail identify this fish as a steelhead as opposed to a Chinook salmon. Only hatchery steelhead with fin clips can be retained today due to protected status under the Endangered Species Act that now covers Klamath Basin wild steelhead. Photo courtesy Lower Trinity Ranger District, Six Rivers National Forest.
