I managed a chum that was about 14 inches long today.

Photo would be great

It was way to cold to be taking pictures today, even of coho. Only got one picture of the coho I decided to keep. This fish was 100% a chum, it had a white belly but had some bars on it's side. There is no way this fish was a jack coho or trout. I've noticed many small does this year, but this small?  ??? The fish was tiny!

it's only the south coast that has such a minimal return of pinks in the off years. Basically from the middle of VanIsle north most rivers have one good year (even) with a smaller run in the following year.  Some southern rivers have a few in the even numbered years but I have never seen one in the Fraser system. Any that do shpw may be strays from farther north or rivers that have a minor run.
