I don't know the specific numbers and figures of the fish, but the steelhead run is similar to duffins, 6-12 fish days are not uncommon. I've eaten some but mostly only the small ones

There are however, banned dates/areas of the Credit where you aren't supposed to fish, which ARE Regulations:

Quote:Exceptions for the Credit River

Regulation exceptions have been developed to provide anglers with additional opportunities or to protect fish during sensitive times of the year such as spawning periods. These exceptions are:

EXTENDED FALL SEASON for rainbow and brown trout and pacific salmon from the south side of Britannia Road upstream to the south side of the Highway 407 bridge
YEAR ROUND OPEN SEASON for rainbow trout, brown trout and pacific salmon from the south side of Highway 403 bridge downstream to Lake Ontario
NO FISHING for any species from August 15 to the Friday before the fourth Saturday in April in the Credit River and tributaries from the south side of the Highway 403 bridge upstream to the south side of the Britannia Road bridge
NO FISHING for any species from January 1 to the Friday before the fourth Saturday in April in the Credit River and tributaries from the south side of the Britannia Road bridge upstream to the south side of the Old Baseline Road bridge, excluding Levi’s Creek and Fletcher’s Creek
NO FISHING for any species from October 1 to the Friday before the fourth Saturday in April in the Credit River and tributaries from the south side of the Old Baseline Road bridge in Caledon upstream to Highway 9
Rainbow trout, brook trout and brown trout catch and possession limit of zero and only artificial lures (no organic bait) with one single-pointed barbless hook can be used when angling the Credit River and tributaries upstream of Old Baseline Road in Caledon
