I looked it up and it shows the max depth when full is 150’. I guess I looked up the right lake. Here’s a picture.

Hack, when I looked up one of my favorite lakes in California (New Melones) as a comparison it said max depth 172 which I knew was way off cause I’ve fished the river below the dam so I kept reading and the 172 was meters which translates into 568 feet so maybe the 150 was meters.

You told me once but I don't remember. How are there steelhead in a lake? Isn't a steelhead a rainbow with access to the sea? That's what I've been taught. Anyway, they can sure get the adrenaline going, even if you don't land em. Thanks as usual for the photos.
We have steelhead in a few of the lakes here in Idaho. Lots of them have waterways around the small dams where the steelhead can travel ok. I’ve caught them in Cascade Lake here a couple of times. Not a bunch of them but a few. There always A-run fish though and not big. A huge one is 5 pounds out of the lakes here. In the Big Salmon River we catch em 15 to 20 pounds in the fall (B-run fish). A-run fish are those that only spend one year in the ocean before returning to their spawning grounds. B-run fish are those who spend, at least, 2 years and sometimes 3 or more in the ocean. Nearly all steelhead that go to the ocean will travel back up the Columbia River and it’s tributaries or up river into Idaho at some point. Not many go anywhere else.
This is one of my fishing buddies with a 4 pound,A-run, steelhead he caught on the Big Salmon last fall on a bass grub. We were smallmouth fishing. They have an obvious larger tail section and faded stripe on their sides here.
