I have found that Vedder river chum are more of an orange meat and the Nicomen Slough chum are more on the pale white side

I've heard of reds and pales from both of those systems this year.

Maybe I'll aadd this to my Outlook calendar to bring it up in early October next year and we can track our catches as they happen.   From the feedback I'm getting from the active fishers I know, it seems it more of a buck - doe issue.  Bucks red, Does pale.  (maybe their flesh colour goes into the eggs???)

It's all in the cooking process.
If done well you can't tell the difference easily.
Some people like to eat fish with just salt and pepper and I'm not one of them.
I like to spice them up with herbs and other ingridients.
White spring is easy to tell and pink salmon but the red fleshed ones, not so much.

Hmmm...makes me think I need to consider learning how to smoke these guys.

  For sure the fresher the better and the males have much better meat than the females.....in my opinion

  This is the conclusion I have come to from the same trend I've observed in coho and steelhead.
