  Goin right straight outa my little teeny mind looking at those fish- I love this time of year- hey-way too much info on strains and such for there to be very much diff to somebody like me who just likes to fish. 
    Seems like they are all more or less from an immediate family and likely mix the hatch so to speak on regular occasion. Even then a throwback will likely look like grandpa and cause somebody who knows the history to be able to ID the thing.
   To the rest of us - Steel- or maybe a rainbow- oh well -let it go and get another one

After some further study, since I still had no idea what the heck a "domestic" was, I found out they are called that because they are light manipulated to become fall spawners. In doing so, hatcheries are able to schedule growth and stocking  to fit their needs. A better term, as far as my understanding goes,  would  be  the adjective "domesticated" which describes an organism  whose behavior and physical charachteristics are changed to suit a specific purpose. Interbreeding and reversion to original (wild)  behavior would explain  the wide variety found in them. I guess I'm dumber than a box of rocks not to put together "domestic breed"  as in dogs, with domestic trout. The fish I caught has the right pectoral fin clipped.The DEC says  Skamanias have the adipose and the left pectoral clipped. Now armed with that information I can go out and break my rods, fall in, and make stupid jokes that offend the living sh..out of people here.   
It was a great trip, shared with some good people. The last thing I did before I left was put a guy on the little section of seam that was holding fish and get him hooked up, netted his fish, and took a pic with his camera. I may not be very helpful here, but believe it or not, I am in real life.  I suck at forums.

Gee you can learn something every day.
From that post I learned that the only difference between "domestic" rainbows and steelhead is that the former is altered by fish biologist.
Its nice to know that I was wrong and we only brought eggs from the Chambers Creek steelhead for stocking here and that all the rainbows that were here for 100 years prior are natives.
I apologive for my error!

Yep, I was wrong. Good one wader. You win the war of partial truths and misreadings. See ya.
