Pinch Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Ok I know that dropbacks are a reference to steelheads, but what exactly does it mean? And why does it seem like its bad to catch them, or at least a derogatory term towards them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnybass Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Drop-backs are steelhead that have already spawned and are on their way back to the Lake. Not sure that there is any derogatory association with the term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
