In the Sandy River all returning winter fish are clipped both adipose and right maxillary (small bone protruding on the side of the mouth). All summer fish are marked adipose clip only. There are some summer fish in the system that are very hard to tell from winter fish.I will post a picture of six fish in the steelhead section of the picture gallery. One is a summer. If the summer fish have been in the system for any length of time, like those in the system now, they will have parasites inside the mouth. I can post pictures of that too, if anyone is interested.The third fish from the left is the only summer fish of this group of six fish.
