silverstreak Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Can anyone tell if this is a chinny or a Coho salmon fry. Fish had a white mouth. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) Hmm...hard to say...found this image on the net....I'd say it looks closer to chinook though When I read the thread, I thought you were frying them to eat....lol Edited June 10, 2008 by ccmt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 IDing juvenile salmonids is not easy... its not rocket science either. You usually have to use a key. The book "Fresh Water Fishes Of Canada" is very good. I'll try to dig mine out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Did it roll or make straight runs when you were fighting it? That'll tell you which it is. heheh. anal fin. most likely a coho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'll say Chinook based on this key that I made up when I was in school. The key for adult salmons, trouts and chars is different than this one for juveniles 2-5 inches long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
