Indiana waters of the St. Joseph River are full of steelhead.
During April alone - through last Thursday – 3,921 steelhead were counted passing through the South Bend Ladder, bringing the total since Jan. 1 to 10,589. That ranks second highest all-time spring run with two more weeks to go. If another 1,200 steelhead move up – which is quite possible – it will set an Indiana record.
