Name that fish
« on: October 22, 2013, 07:51:22 AM »
I thought this was a pink but a couple guys argued it could not be due to the river it was caught in.

What do you think?

not all salmon return to their birth stream, a certain % stray to other rivers. When there is a return such as we had this year with Pink Salmon literally hundreds of thousands could be straying to rivers they weren't born in so the chances of encountering a pink in a river with none are not insignificant.

Well not many people know this but pinks were released in the Nic as recent as 10 years ago. So it's not that surprising that you caught one, however the run is very small because for some reason the fish just never returned in very great numbers.

It's a young coho dressed as a pink, trick-or-treating up the Nikomekl.
It's Halloween season, you know! ;D

damn ! guess I need to pay closer attention when I walk the dog along the Nicomekl in the Portage park area. I just was watching off the bridge on 203rd a couple days back and it looked void of life

I did spot a coho in there last year moving very fast upriver as dusk approached

There was actually quite a few that came up in 2009, not many in 2011, and I did not see any yet this year, but nice to see one.
