July 20th, 2005: Adipose Clipped Cultus Lake Sockeye Salmon

Cultus Lake Salmon Research Laboratory has released a educational poster that all Vedder River anglers should be aware of. Cultus Lake sockeye salmon are endangered and some of the returning fish are adipose clipped. Adipose fin is a small fin just behind the dorsal fin of all salmonid species. Hatchery produced coho and sockeye salmon from the Vedder River have their adipose fin clipped for marking reasons. Anglers are allowed to keep hatchery coho salmon that are missing an adipose fin, but all sockeye salmon are to be released (including those that are missing an adipose fin). Please study the poster and learn the differences between a coho and a sockeye salmon.
