crossover Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hey guys, how do you distinguish between a salmon full of eggs and one with no eggs/a male? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 At this time of year, the males will try to fertilize your shoes when you pick them up...Look for the kype and the canines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 males have a large head with hooked jaws...and a uniform body... kinda tall and thin... females have a small head without hooked jaws... and a fat belly... shaped more like a trout with a less tall body and thick across... in some cases you can give the belly a sqeeze and see what comes out...

BillM Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Anal vent of the female should be extremely visible this time of year. She'll most likely be squirting eggs with a slight push of her belly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
