Upstream migrating adult steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri), transported downstream, hooked, and played to exhaustion, returned to their target spawning stream equally as well as fish just transported and released. The number of fish returning to their home stream was inversely related to the distance transported and appears to be directly related to the number of days remaining before spawning.
