I guess you'd have to pry that mouth open to know for sure.

It could be a coho. We used to catch them ( chrome scale-shedding hatchery and wild silvers) on a pretty regular basis until the second week in January or so oh the GH tribs. And the scale loss does look cohoish. If you could look in its mouth, it would be a no-brainer.

Could be a steelhead, too, I guess. I've seen them losing scales like that......in fact I have a pic of one I caught a couple years ago that was shedding scales like that. But the tail does look spotless in the pic, doesn't it..........but that could be a camera/digital image issue.

I guess it could be a chinook...........but only because Toff said so. smile

This fish was shedding scales, but its tail had spots.


Someone pry that f'er's mouth open and let's find out for sure.
