Also trying to decipher what Alfiegee is trying to say in his last post :blink: :huh:

Seems totally nonsensical, maybe you have something confused with another forum?? Never said browns were seldom seen or very rare. "Maybe the salmotrutta has migrated west a bit." -> What do you mean by migrated west?

Maybe I have you confused with someone else salmotrutta. But earlier this year I read a post, and it was on OFF. I believe it was someones reply to one of those fish identification questions you see here quite often. Poster suggested that it was the parr of a seldom seen fish called the salmotrutta that he caught sometimes in the headwaters of some eastern tribs. It was a while ago so the details are a bit hazy and I could be wrong, but I think the post was done in jest and the fish talked about was meant to be mythical.
Sorry if I caused you any confusion, or if I am confused.
Oh, and Bob Marley doesn't visit very often any more, usually the 4th Saturday in April :)

it didnt have much of a tail left... ive caught full grown pretty much almost dead chinny with pure white tails and the dots are gone... although your one pic does just show dots on the upper part of the tail. curious, did it have a kype? hard to tell since the mouth was closed in all the pics. Ive never seen a female "jack" ever.

I believe I was there when you caught that salmon! If so you were a little more excited than I was, but I was still excited none the less lol. It was unbelievable how he targeted the roe and just kept on it. That was the only fish I saw out of the water on that extremely cold day.

Good Job man!

Oh, the irony!

I'll send you a PM..

I thought you were a troll on this forum (hence the comment I left on your profile), will explain in PM.

Yes, it was exciting to have such a bizarre catch break the monotony of that morning. Now if I had known it was a coho at the time, I would've been even more stoked lol.

That was a great day to be out fishing, just not on that particular creek. I went to another trib later that day and it paid off huge.

Looks like a coho jack, not a chinook. The size also suggests it is a coho, as jack chinooks tend to be 18-26" depending on which lake they are from.

It is also possible to have a female jack (fish with one lake year of growth), but males normally make up 97-99% of the jack run. Same goes with steelies (shakers), where the odd one will be female.
