Huntar, you've got the right idea, my ten year old landed a yak king last Sat AM between Yakima and Granger and even though the fish wasn't that Dark the meat was white. I hear over and over from guys that the coho with color still have good pink meat,that smokes up nicely-to that I say you should have seen the parasite I saw squiggling out of the freshly brined coho fillet I got from a questionable Klickitat fish the weekend before. Driving west a couple of hours is the only way to go if want to enjoy quality salmonoids on the grill or smoker. The springers on the Yakima are the only exception, but they still aren't close to being as good as the Wind River/Drano fish.
