can anyone identify the steelie strain?
Different strain? or just an anomaly/genetic oddball from the pack ?  this fish was pulled from Connie on JUNE 3rd in the late 80s... appx 12-15 creek miles upstream in a 5-6ft deep hole She was 30 inches long, but only weighed 6 pnds Never seen a spawned out Manistee strain (what Ohio stocks) that skinny, that clean and that unscarred that late in the season . Does that fish look like it's been on the redds?? (like a Spring run Ohio fish should at that time of year) fins and tail don't look like it to me (but I'm a fish dOpe) and will let the smart fishguys tell me The only FAKX i has iz; it was the skinniest steelie I've ever caught The cleanest/unscathed for that time of year and the latest in the season ..L.T.A.

Did Ohio used to stock Little Manistees back then, or did they stock a different strain?
I'm guessing an oddball or maybe a Skamania possibly. To me it does look a little spawned out, so it could just be a skinny dropback.

It's probably a holdover. It happens every year.

It's not a "Steelbow"
It's an Eelbow.

I'd say it's a slightly confused Skamania.
The ones I've seen (not many) are typically longer and skinny like that.

Looks a lot like a Skam to me.
