Mike,

It was most likely a young coho, they stay in
fresh water from 1 to 1.5 years. However, some
do not smolt and may live and die in either Lake
Sammamish or Lake Washington. I've cought quite
a few Blackmouth in Lake Wash. up to 5Lbs. WDFW
tells me a number of hatchery chinook just don't
smolt and go to sea. Too bad we can't keep them.
