azebra Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Chinook. Humm I would have put money that it was a coho. With the predominately white mouth and the smaller size of the fish in this system compared to lake O chinook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the predominately white mouth and the smaller size of the fish in this system compared to lake O chinook Lake Huron/Superior chinooks don't get to the proportions like their Lake O cousins do... Also if it was a coho, the lower jaw would be a lot more pronounced, especially this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnsled Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) I'll agree with Bill as well. Learned a bit more since Joey and I have been going to school. From my post last week. From Fisherman Pictures can be deceiving however, Cohos "generally" only have spots on the upper half of the tail, clearly not the first and second picture...they're Chinook. This might help. MNR fish ID and this Salmon Facts and ID Edited September 24, 2012 by fishnsled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 First thing, look at the tail, Chinooks have spots all over the tail, Coho only have spots on the upper half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solopaddler Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 it's a henway. Art Correct, or approximately 41/2lb's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 First thing, look at the tail, Chinooks have spots all over the tail, Coho only have spots on the upper half. For 99% of the cases this is true (upper lobe of the tail would be the more correct way of saying this). I'm not sure if other anglers who have been catching Lake O cohos the last couple of years have noticed some irregularities with regards to the spotting on a good number of coho tails. The last 2 seasons, I have been catching cohos with spots on both the upper and lower lobes of the tails as well as spotting on the upper lobe and middle of the tail. Perhaps chinook/coho hybrids?
