The Deep Wade Podcast

Steelhead and their astonishing life history diversity

John R. McMillan and Nick Chambers Season 1 Episode 2

This is a repeat episode from John's Barbless podcast back in 2020.

Original description: In this episode, John breaks down the remarkable life history diversity of steelhead, including the benefits of rainbow trout, using very simple language to expand upon a very complex topic. His analogies and metaphors, such as what Danny DeVito, Ah'nold, and the Mountain have in common with O. mykiss, offer a unique glimpse into the attributes that make steelhead stand apart from so many other Pacific salmonids. Tune in for some humor and knowledge about his favorite fish.
