Send in the head of your adipose clipped chinook for a chance to win. More info:

My buddy told me to send in the head too i thought he was kidding , how would you send a head anyways ? I already buried the head in the garden with the rest of the fish do you think its worth it to dig up the grave ?? The whole thing sounds kinda creepy sending heads and that what if the guys italian who gets it and i wake up with a horse head in my bed lol j/k .....thanks for the reply

Most sports shops are head recover depots and have the tags there to fill out to put on the head. The shops will take the head and store it in their fridge for a FOC pick up later. Good prizes, that I have won 3 times, the last a nice rod reel combo.

Moon is shinning now, a good time to go out and dig it up but watch for the ghosts of fish past that you have planted in your garden.They may sweep you into their grave.

I already caught one of those this year, the meat is a pinky-white. But the fish tastes great Had me believing it was a coho.

       Each spring Chilliwack hatchery staff mark 200,000 white chinook juveniles which are releases mid May into the Chilliwack river. These adipose  clipped fish are quite common and may have varying degrees of meat colour, pale white to bright red. Marked fish are used to determine survival rates and migration locations for the stock. Adipose clipped fish have a coded wire tag in their nose which can be removed and the code read to determine where that fish was tagged, time of release, diet study,  etc.

So ladies and gentlemen please turn in your head so hatchery staff can study them.
