John Bacon Posted October 13, 2019 Report Posted October 13, 2019 Wild second generation "co-nook" (or is that Chin-Hos) have been found on Vancouver Island. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/hybrid-salmon-discovered-by-scientists-on-vancouver-island-1.5318092?fbclid=IwAR1HK_todgQUlq-7NCUCIlSPOTSQXXICCGzZhe0EJ-XlHwAfuLTyoXrBzrA 1
misfish Posted October 13, 2019 Report Posted October 13, 2019 Interesting. Nice looking fish. Would be some good eats.
Snidley Posted October 13, 2019 Report Posted October 13, 2019 Similar to pinooks around Sault St Marie. In that case it was pinks and chinooks
dave524 Posted October 13, 2019 Report Posted October 13, 2019 The second generation is noteworthy, first generation salmon hybrids are really fairly common. I believe there have been a few instances of Splake successfully reproducing as well. Best friend growing up lives on the river not far downstream from the dam on Lake Cowichan, he and his grandson were busy transferring fingerlings from isolated pools to the main river during a drought this summer.
