Is this odd?

My buddy caught a nice medium sized chrome female steelhead in the Notty yesterday and I assumed she was a dropback fish. He kept the fish and when he cleaned it, it was full of roe. It was caught near the mouth of the river. Isn't it a bit late to be just entering the river now?? Maybe that is normal for trout up there. Surface water temp in the lake was anywhere from 6-9 degrees and the river was about 13 degrees.

I have caught and witnessed bow runs up to the height of summer, mid august. Was the roe tight? or loose?. There is also a few "under development" programs to produce fall run rainbows that operate in that area. The sandfield hatchery release some summer spawn bow in the mid 80's as well.

Just like school, there is a bell curve to the spawn. Some are ahead of the pack, the bulk are right in the middle, and just like in life some bring up the rear. On top of that some just may not spawn at all, for various reasons, and will be reabsorbing their eggs.
