I caught one last week, at first thinking it was a hatch coho.  It was first light, so it was a bit difficult to see, plus the fish was a bullet.  But it turned out to be a hatch spring jack.  The odour gave it away!!!

This photo of a hatch nookie released back in the 2008 season should help.  Now you've seen one!   :D

Hmm that's pretty cool. I didn't think the hatcheries were clipping chinook anymore...thought that was an 'american' thing, lol
