But unless one looks at scales or tags all it is is a very pretty, fat, small coho. Probably a jack but the have been years when we (WDFW hatcheries, at least) know that there were lots of adult coho that met the size criteria for jacks.

Yup we call those dinks and I am sure some were around as always but most jacks this year were not clipped. In fact most of the Coho and Chinook I came into contact with were really fat! No idea what is going on out on the range but something sure changed.

The ocean has really changed. Generally for the worse. I'd say wait until next year and see what the pinks have done to the pasture. Up in AK they have really hammered the food. There is so much going on out there, so many balls in the air (or water) that teasing out and answer is hard. If we're even looking.

I'd have to agree about this year's silvers being fat. Both football shaped and nice layers of fat in the meat. Hasn't always been the case. (Mostly salt area 9/10 fish for me)

Don’t worry the nets will figure it out.

Fish of the season.... Orygun 60  Good thing that fish topped the scales at 29 pounds! Would have been a shame to have let that go.
