Which one of those browns do you think is a steelhead? AFAIK sea run browns are called Sea trout and sea run rainbows are called Steelheads.

Contrary to its name, the spotted seatrout is not a member of the trout family (Salmonidae), but of the drum family (Sciaenidae).

Just googled sea trout, some of the pics do look like brown trout though.

Well anyways ... if they caught that many browns this guy must have a penchant for overstocking the browns unlike most other venues.
Where is Bo-vlakte exactly ?

I do'nt think that what is commonly called Sea Trout in the UK is actually a drumfish.
What do the rest of you think?

Those are spotted sea trout which are different to the sea trout we commonly refer to, which are sea run browns, and are members of the Salmo trutta family:

Thanks Neil, that clears up my confusion. So stealheads = Rainbow trout with a dash of salt and Sea Trout (in the UK) = Brown Trout with a dash of salt.
Now how far is Bo Vlakte from any saltwater?
Steelhead
exactly Chris.

In the UK they actually refer to their sea trout (sea run browns) as Sewin.
