I've personally never let the color of the meat sway what I believe the flavor to be....

All CR fall chinook in my opinion are smokers.. They're 60 - 100% mature and lack any quantity of fat/oil to give the flavor.

Summer kings in the CR are the last fish that migrates through in the calendar year that hit's my dinner plate and I don't prefer those much past July 1st...

Yeah it sounds like a fish snob but you can't make chicken soup out of chicken [Bleeeeep!]...
